The President, Maritime Journalists Association of Nigeria (MAJAN), Comrade Ray Ugochukwu, has commended the Management of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) on the appointment of Mrs. Josephine Moltok as the new General Manager (GM), Corporate and Strategic Communications (C&SC).
Ray Ugochukwu made this commendation today while informing MAJAN members on the development, affirming that the newly appointed GM of Corporate Communications for the Authority has the intelligence and ability to protect the image of the authority.
Ugochukwu, who is a renowned writer and seasoned Journalist, described Mrs. Moltok as an intelligent, highly experienced candidate for the position and has the competence to deliver her newly appointed assignment in NPA.
The new GM took over on Tuesday, from Mrs Oluyemisi Oyinlola, a lawyer, who only held the office for barely one month.
Moltok, an old war horse in media and PR management, was for many years, the NPA’s Head of Overseas Liaison Office in London. She returned to Nigeria last year to head the Administration Division of the Authority as its GM from where she was moved to the new position.
The soft-spoken new image maker, our reporter gathered, hailed from Plateau State and has worked as a Public Relations Officer (PRO) in the defunct Western Zone of NPA in Apapa and later moved to the Calabar Port.
She also worked at the agency’s defunct head office in Abuja after which she came to serve at the former Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) Port in Tin Can, Lagos, even as she equally headed the PR Unit of the Lagos Port Complex (LPC), Apapa.
Mrs Moltok was to later serve as the National Assembly Liaison Officer of NPA in the Abuja liaison office where she later became the Assistant General Manager (AGM).
At her promotion to a General Manager, the new NPA image maker headed the Servicom Division before moving to the London office.
Her colleagues and peers have always quoted her as one who prides herself as having “been privileged to work with and be mentored by exceptional people.
However, Mrs Oyinlola has thus returned to her former duty post as the GM Legal Services/Board. For the little period she occupied the C&SC position, the staff of the department saw her as one who not only hit the ground running but passionate and full of compassion for them and stakeholders, including the few journalists that came her way.
