NIMASA: Anambra Commends Offodile’s Appointment

The Anambra State Government lauds Chudi Offodile on his appointment as an executive director in the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA)

In a statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. Don Adinuba, the state government described the appointment as 'eminently deserving'.

“Though he left the legislature 15 years ago, his colleagues and officials of the National Assembly speak nostalgically about him on account of the brilliance, commitment, and vibrancy he displayed.

“Having discharged his duties with aplomb, he set a standard by which a lot of his colleagues are still judged in matters of transparency, probity, and commitment to the common good as well as legislative delivery.

 "Offodile was one of the first major investors in the state following the restoration of democratic rule in Nigeria in 1999, adding that he encouraged many people from Anambra State to follow his bold example of ‘Think Home.’

“His impressive record made Governor Willie Obiano appoint him last December as a member of the Anambra State Vision 2070 Committee, a group drawing up a strategic plan to make the state attain the status of a fully developed entity in the next 50 years.

“The committee is headed by former Central Bank governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo,” the statement said.
