The association, during its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday, lamented that the customs brokerage, a segment in the logistics chain which ought to be left for indigenous Nigerians is being threatened, courtesy of foreigners’ invasion.

The association lamented that project cargoes that ought to be handled by Nigerians are being given to foreigners to carry, lamenting that no government policy seems to be protecting indigenization of customs brokerage in the country.

Speaking at the meeting, the Vice President of the association, Dr. Kayode Farinto, accused the Nigeria Customs Service of licensing Maersk Line and MSC under the name Damco Logistics and Medlog services limited to carry out customs brokerage, even as he lamented that younger customs brokers are gradually losing their jobs while older customs brokers are rendered broke as a result of foreign dominance of the customs brokerage business.

He urged the government to put up an executive bill that will emanate from the National Assembly to stop foreigners from taking over indigenous jobs.

He said if successful, the country will be producing about three thousand jobs annually for the budding/ younger Agents.

According to him, ” it is no more a news that foreigners have taken over this specialized aspect of the logistics chain, under the guise of rendering door ~ to ~ door service and as we speak now, all project cargoes have been taken over by these foreigners and no government policy seems to be protecting our profession.

“Maersk line, a shipping line has registered a clearing outfit called Damco Logistics ltd while MSC also has been licensed by the board of customs to practice customs brokerages as Medlod Services Ltd.

“The younger freight forwarders/ customs brokers are gradually losing their jobs, while the older ones do not have anything doing lately, the national secretary and myself have put up a protest letter to the Annual transport summit going on in Kano from 6-9of September, however we are of the opinion that, we need government protection or better still an executive bill to emanate from the National Assembly to stop foreigners from taking over our job.

“If this is successful, we will be producing about three thousand jobs annually for the budding/ younger Agents” he said.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
