NIMASA Hails A’Court Judgement On NLNG

The director- general of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , Dr. Dakuku Peterside, has hailed the appeal court judgement in the case between the agency and the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Limited over levies payable to the maritime regulator, saying it has reaffirmed confidence in the Judiciary.

Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba, who delivered the judgement, ordered that the case be sent back to the high court for fresh trial under a different judge. He said, “This judgement has further shown that the judiciary is unbiased and remains a beacon of hope for Nigerians. On our part as a responsible government agency, we will continue to work closely with the judiciary and other stakeholders to ensure that we realise our mandate of creating a robust maritime sector in line with best global practices.”

The agency had in 2010 commenced an action against NLNG, wherein it sought for an interpretation of relevant provisions of the Nigerian LNG Act, CAP N87, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990, and the NIMASA Act of 2007. In January 2013, the action by NIMASA was withdrawn in a bid to amicably settle the dispute out of court.
