Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation has finally bared his mind on the sack of the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dakuku Peterside.

He said; “I am not aware of his sack. As of yesterday when I spoke to the DG of NIMASA, he was in the office and they had a board meeting and he was present at the meeting.”

“I am not aware that he has been removed. I spoke to him at about 3 pm to 4 pm. I should know if he has been sacked. If I am the minister of transportation, I should know.”

“Maybe we need to call Peterside this morning to know whether he is in the office but the government does not take an arbitrary decision.”

“If he were to be sacked, the minister of transportation would be told to formally intimate the DG of his sack and I am not aware that the president has directed me to intimate anybody of his sack.”
