The Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association (WISTA) Nigeria has congratulated two distinguished women leaders in the maritime industry on their landmark appointments.
Jemilat Mahamah has been appointed Chairman of the Board of the Ghana Maritime Authority, while Iroghama Ogbeifun has been appointed a Board Member of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
Mahamah’s appointment is a significant milestone for Ghana and the wider maritime community, symbolizing visionary leadership and dedicated service.
Dr. Odunayo Ani, President of WISTA Nigeria, expressed pride in Mahamah’s achievement, stating that her leadership promises bold reforms and strategic progress for Ghana’s maritime sector.
Ogbeifun’s appointment is a testament to her outstanding contributions to Nigeria’s maritime industry. As CEO of Starzs Investments and a long-standing member of WISTA Nigeria, her inclusion on the NIMASA Board reflects the growing impact of female leadership in shaping maritime governance.
Dr. Ani noted that her appointment is a powerful affirmation of women’s capacity to lead and transform the industry.
WISTA Nigeria regards both appointments as victories for inclusive leadership and gender representation across West Africa’s maritime landscape.
