Dr. Dakuku Peterside, Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has appealed on well-meaning Nigerians and Corporate Organisations to support education at all levels in the country.
Speaking in Abuja as NIMASA continued its donation of educational learning materials to schools across the country, in line with her Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Dakuku noted that education was the major panacea for the growth and development of Nigeria.

He said the Agency felt the gesture would further encourage students in their learning activities especially as they strive to achieve excellence.
A statement by the Director of Communications in NIMASA, Mr. Isichei Osamgbi said the Agency had taken the gesture to the northern zone where some items including latest ICT tools were donated to schools in the North Central and North East Zones.
