Support for NIMASA’s proposed stoppage of vessels that violate Marine Pollution Annex VI ratified by the International Maritime Organisation

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), through its Director-General, Dr. Dakuku Peterside, disclosed on Monday, 21st August 2017 that it would bar vessels with unacceptably high amount of sulphur in fuel that allow for emission of carbon monoxide into the air from calling at Nigeria’s seaports. Technical reports have revealed that ships contribute to emissions of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere which in turn contribute to climate change with potential negative cumulative effect on the atmosphere and the environment. It was in realization of this that the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ratified Marine Pollution (Marpol) Annex VI that deals with greenhouse gas emissions from ships.

NigerianDocuments notes that NIMASA’s plan is in the right direction and that the agency is empowered to handle maritime issues like this by the enabling Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency Act 2007 that established it. We also note that NIMASA’s proposed action against such vessels that violate the Marine Pollution Annex VI is in conformity with Sustainable Development Goal 13 which aims at taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts in line with agreements made by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Forum. In the same vein, we believe that NIMASA has chosen to take the proposed action within the context of International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships which has been ratified by Nigeria’s National Assembly, viz: International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 and 1978 Protocol (Ratification and Enforcement) Act 2007

While supporting the proposed action, we align with the concerns expressed by NIMASA and maritime stakeholders on the impacts of marine pollution and the need to address the problem with a view to improving the living conditions and standards of the people as well as conserving and maximizing Nigeria's abundant marine resources.

  2. Neonatal herpes can occur when an infant is exposed to HSV (HSV-2 or HSV-1) in the genital tract during delivery. Neonatal herpes is rare, occurring in an estimated 10 out of every 100,000 births globally, but is a serious condition that can lead to lasting neurologic disability or death. Women who have genital herpes before they become pregnant are at very low risk of transmitting HSV to their infants;. Only herbal Medicine from Doctor RAZOR can permanently get rid of this HSV. I am glad that I got cured of this virus HSV type 1. . Contact Herbalist Razor On whatsapp --Via +2349065420442 And reach him on his Cliic email drrazorhrbalhome@gmail.com

  5. I’m so happy to testify of the good work of Dr DADA, I have suffered from Herpes virus since 2020 and I had frequent symptoms in my private area, after some time it will go away after using acyclovir drugs, then come back after some months. it was disheartening since i have been diagnosed, but after finding Dr DADA and his reviews i was convinced that he will definitely cure me and so i contacted him and he told me how to get his herbal medicine and using it for just 14 days and i will go and check up and first i said how can that be possible but i used his herbal medicine after making purchase and truly i used it and went for the test again, and my result came back negative. So I made it a task to share this good testimony on the internet so that those sick can benefit and get cured, here is dr dada Whatsapp number +2348167428084 OR drdadaherbalcentre7@gmail.com or visit his website https://drdadaherbalcentre.wixsite.com/drdadaspecialremedie
