Jauro takes over from Barrister Calistus Obi, who had been given the job four days ago  only for it to be reversed by The Presidency. 

One politician from Anambra speaking in Anonymity told reporters that he and other igbos are extremely troubled by President Buhari’s action on the leadership of NIMASA.

“Anybody who knows about maritime issues can tell you that [Calistus] Obi is very knowledgeable,” said the source, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party. He added, “Why would Mr. President remove him after just a few days, even though he was appointed in an acting capacity? What was the hurry in firing him? And it is interesting that Alhaji Jauro’s appointment is also in acting capacity.” He said.
