The Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Dr Dayo Mobereola, has warned members of the public against fake social media accounts with purported link to the agency.
In a post on his verified X handle on Monday in Lagos, Mobereola said the fake accounts being floated in the social media were not affiliated or endorsed by him or the agency.

The D-G advised members of the public to be wary and only communicate with the agency’s official social media platforms.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any party that puts itself forward as acting on behalf of NIMASA or any member of the agency’s executive management is false.
“NIMASA disclaims and bears no responsibility whatsoever for their action.
“Members of the public are hereby urged to treat with suspicion any such offerings and verify their claims in order not to fall prey to these scammers.
“NIMASA has not designated any entity or persons to act on its behalf.
