Amaechi orders probe of maritime academy over N18bn remittances

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has ordered a probe into the financial activities of the Maritime Academy of Nigeria (MAN), Oron, Akwa Ibom State and N18 billion remittances to the institution by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) in the last five years. Amaechi gave the order following allegations of financial recklessness and large scale fraud leveled against the academy’s rector, Joshua Okpo.

The academy's rector had recently approached Amaechi to accuse NIMASA of starving the institute of Funds. Amaechi immediately called for a meeting with the management of NIMASA and enquired from them why it was sitting on the subvention of MAN, Oron.

This claim was however refuted by NIMASA's acting DG, Haruna Jauro who told Amaechi that the agency had remitted over N18 billion to the academy since 2009. At the enquiry of the minister, the MAN rector, Okpo said he only took over in 2011 to which NIMASA declared that a sum of N13 billion was remitted to the institution since the rector took over. When asked what he had done with the N13 billion remitted to the academy since he took over as Rector, Okpo kept giving incoherent and inconsistent answers. This made Amaechi to immediately call for a probe.

      Amaechi that refused to honour a panel of enquiry set up to investigate the massive corrupt activities that characterised his administration as Rivers State governor, lacks the morality to probe anybody. The dude should take several seats please. This government and their fight against corruption is a mere mockery of anti corruption. Hypocrites!

    You all are saying what you don't know.... Am fully in support of ameachi cos I did school in MAN ORON.... And seriously there is need for accountability in that school because NIMASA and other oil companies have sink in money into the school and yet till I graduate last August.. The uncompleted buildings I came and meet since my year one have not been completed and those building are still in the same state I met dem till I graduate.... And in my second year there was an increase in school fee by 100%.. So where is the money NIMASA and other companies have been going to?????
