The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, has approved an additional $2,000 each for the 134 cadets under the Nigerian Seafarers Development Programme.
A statement signed by the Assistant Director, Public Relations, NIMASA, Osagie Edward, revealed that the agency has put in place immediate and long-term arrangements to minimize the effect of inflation on their living standard during the programme.
The statement noted that the review of the ongoing exercise was necessary due to the global inflationary trends which were very pronounced in the Philippines, India and some other countries.
