The Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration Agency, NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh, has been conferred with a chieftaincy title in Ondo State. The Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi, Odundun II, gave the chieftaincy title of Baatona of Akure, to him. The honour was bestowed on Jamoh for impacting lives positively and contributing immensely to the development of the country coupled with his friendly disposition to Akure kingdom and the monarchy. According to the traditional ruler, Jamoh is a detribalised Nigerian who is truly committed to the development of the nation through the maritime sector which is also another reason he was chosen for the title of Baatona which means pathfinder. The traditional ruler wished the new chief well while congratulating him for the honour well deserved and urged him not to relent in the good path that earned him the worthy recognition.
The newly installed chief, who was excited about his title, extolled the values of the people of Akure. He described them as very hospitable adding that he is proud to be associated with the King and the entire Akure people. He promised to do all within his capacity to add more value to the Kingdom.
