How the 2024 Performance Bond Retreat Set the Stage for a New Era
As the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) sets the stage for its highly anticipated 2025 Annual Management Retreat, scheduled for February 7th and 8th at its headquarters in Lokoja, the event promises to build upon the foundation laid at the 2024 Performance Bond Signing Retreat.
At last year’s retreat, NIWA’s Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Bola Oyebamiji, FCIB, emphasized the agency’s commitment to aligning with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria’s inland waterways under the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy. Discussions revolved around optimizing revenue performance, strengthening operational efficiency, and enhancing regulatory oversight.
Reflecting on 2024, NIWA made significant strides in infrastructure development, safety regulations, and strategic partnerships, all geared toward maximizing the economic potential of Nigeria’s inland waterways. The retreat became a turning point, enabling the agency to set ambitious performance targets while reinforcing collaboration between its management team and area managers.
This year, with Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, His Excellency Adegboyega Oyetola, CON, as the Special Guest of Honour, the focus will be on:
✅ Reviewing 2024 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
✅ Assessing revenue performance and setting 2025 targets
✅ Strengthening organizational effectiveness and communication
Under Oyebamiji’s leadership, NIWA is poised to solidify its role as a key driver of Nigeria’s blue economy, ensuring that inland waterways contribute significantly to the nation’s economic growth.
As the 2025 retreat approaches, all eyes will be on NIWA’s next phase of transformation, making this a defining moment in the agency’s trajectory.
