Amaechi new appointment

You're referring to the recent appointment of Rotimi Amaechi, a former Governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Transportation in Nigeria.

On February 13, 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Rotimi Amaechi as the new Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). This appointment was announced by the President's office, and it is effective from March 1, 2023.

As the new Director-General of NIMASA, Amaechi is expected to lead the agency in promoting the development of Nigeria's maritime sector, ensuring the safety and security of maritime activities, and implementing policies to boost the country's economy.

Amaechi's appointment has been met with mixed reactions, with some praising his experience and leadership skills, while others have expressed concerns about his suitability for the role. However, the President's office has expressed confidence in Amaechi's ability to lead NIMASA and drive the growth of Nigeria's maritime sector.

It's worth noting that Amaechi's appointment is subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Senate, which is the usual procedure for appointing heads of government agencies in Nigeria.
