The new entrants are: Vanatu, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>Winners in Category \u2018A\u2019 are China, Greece, Italy, Japan, Norway, Panama, the Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Winners in Category \u2018B\u2019 are: Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>In an in-depth interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Enisuoh stated that the problem of third world countries and why they lose seats at IMO council, is that they keep sending different people to represent them, people that are not technical inclined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore often, they see these meetings as a way to reward loyalists. And the danger of sending them is that during the meeting, they will not be able to grasp technical issues discussed and thus no contribution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for developed countries, they are very consistent in the use of professionals and so we need a change in Nigeria,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that one of the gaps in 2009 was that IMO clearly wrote that Nigeria lacked professionals in the maritime administration, they wrote it in black and white in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe went out closing the gaps and that was how we started employing, and also what IMO wants to see is are you doing shipping alike, what you are supposed to do, that is the situation now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to change this culture, IMO does not work like that, they work on reports from shipping and whatever they get, they put it on record,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On what other countries have been using to judge Nigeria, Enisuoh noted that there were lots of reports from ship captains about the status of our maritime sector.<\/p>\n<p>This includes how other countries were stressed when they come to us, dangers in navigation and wrecks issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese developed countries do not know any nepotism and politics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Enisuoh added that Nigeria should also ensure compliance to the International Maritime Organisation rules and regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn July 2016, Nigeria had a compulsory IMO Audit called IMSAS and was given 90 days to come up with a corrective action plan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c That plan I believe was submitted within the timeline, IMO monitors how well you are following your planned corrective action, but unfortunately I am not sure Nigeria carried out what it was meant to do in the plan,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Former president, National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Mr Eugene Nweke also stated that it should not be business as usual but compliance to standards.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the election under reference is not the function of a country\u2019s sweet name and size.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a function\u00a0 of effective administration with a commitment to investing in infrastructure and human capacity development as well as compliance levels to IMO standard regulations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, a situation where Nigeria has not done more in these regards, but deliberately resorts to go and gamble for a seat in the IMO is not acceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former director at the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Capt.
