The Federal Government (FG) has issued a strong warning to heads of agencies under the ministry, demanding strict accountability and measurable results.
Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, issued the warning during the signing of performance bonds with heads of maritime agencies at the Ministerial Management Retreat, held alongside the 2026 first-quarter stakeholders’ engagement in Lagos, yesterday, where he emphasised the need for performance-driven governance.
“Let me emphasise that all Departments and Agencies under the Ministry must remain firmly focused on delivering tangible results,” he said.
In a statement by Dr. Bolaji Akinola, Special Adviser to the Minister, Oyetola noted that the performance bonds are binding commitments that will be closely monitored and rigorously evaluated.
Oyetola reiterated the need for data-driven decision-making, robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and alignment with the Ministry’s strategic objectives.
The agencies include the Nigerian Ports Authority, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Nigerian Shippers’ Council, National Inland Waterways Authority, Maritime Academy of Nigeria, and the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria.
