In a resounding affirmation of her brilliance, tenacity, and leadership in Nigeria’s maritime and energy sectors, Iroghama Ogbeifun has been appointed as a Member of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).

For many who have followed her journey, this appointment is not just a professional milestone, it is a powerful moment of recognition for a woman who has consistently led from the front. As the Managing Director/CEO of STARZS Investments Company Limited, Iroghama has steered one of Nigeria’s foremost marine logistics companies with vision, strength, and strategic foresight. Her leadership has not only shaped the trajectory of her company but also elevated the profile of women in traditionally male-dominated industries.

This latest appointment to the NIMASA Governing Board reflects the trust the nation places in her capacity to contribute meaningfully to maritime governance, regulation, and strategic advancement. It is also a symbolic win for women breaking ceilings in the maritime and energy sectors.
