ANLCA CRISIS DEEPENS: Tenure Extension, Joke Of The Century—–Executives Tell Board Members

The National Executive Committee of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) has described as joke of the century, the recent statement by some members of the Board of Trustees that it has got tenure extension.

Shipping Position Daily had reported earlier that four members of the board, namely: Prince Taiye Oyeniyi, Dennis Okafor, Sir Ernest Elochukwu including the supposedly elected chairman of the board; Alhaji Taiwo Mustapha had said the board had got an extension of another six years to stay in office after regularising its registration at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).

Mustapha had stated that the board would now proceed to spend another six years in office, since the courts have declared its first six years null and void due to its lack of registration. He had argued that in the eyes of the law, and legally speaking, and based on the court judgement, the tenure of the BOT is just starting on the 16th of January for another six years.

However, speaking to journalists on Friday, the National Secretary of the association, Alhaji Abdulazeez Mukaila described the recent statement by the five members of the board as the greatest joke of the century.

Mukaila stated that by 12 midnight of the Friday (7th of February 2020), their membership of the board will cease while adding that the National Executive Committee will handle all the affairs of the association pending the election of new members to the board.

Mukaila stated that whatever may be the challenge for some of the members of the board not to have got them registered should be an internal issue that should not affect the association.

According to him, “It is in the public domain the distraction that has been going on in the association for over two years now and I hold it a duty to do this as the National Secretary of the association and I have been directed by the President to do this.

“I want to make some clarifications and the first clarification is that by 12:00 hours of today (Friday 7th of February 2020) the tenure of the present board of trustee will expire, and I want to equally state it clearly that nobody gets into ANLCA board unless through an AGM called specifically for that purpose. 

“The last time such an AGM was called happens to be at Warri in 2014, that returns the present board, however whatever is their challenge for their inability to get themselves registered after the election, I believe that is an internal issue which is between them, however that does not mean they are not our board, because close to about 600 corporate companies gave them that mandate to sit freely as the board of ANLCA trustees.

“No one will sit in an air condition room and expect such tenure will be extended, it’s a joke of the century and it cannot stand.

The president will make its statement on Monday and clarify more on this, so the point I am making is that by 12 midnight today (Friday) their tenure will end and if anyone desires to be in the board, announcement have been made by ASECO and all we need to do is to make an announcement of the time and venue for the next AGM, that will produce the next board”

“Therefore as from tomorrow, under section 30; section 30 talks about the emergency power of the president, “where any issue or matter arises which is not covered or contemplated in this constitution, the BOT, and or the NECOM shall have power to take decision”, so the president will be taking decision now that the BOT is no longer there.”

Meanwhile, the factional Chairman of the BoT; Chief Henry Njoku has also discredited last week ‘s election, he told our correspondent that  ANLCA will soon elect new members of the board.

Njoku, described the election which held last Thursday and which saw Alhaji Taiwo Mustapha emerging as the chairman, as an illegal meeting.

He maintained that it is so unfortunate that despite the court order people are still violating the orders, even as he added that the tenure of the present BoT has expired.

Njoku explained that election of BoT members of the association is normally done during their Annual General Meeting (AGM) and that was not observed last week.

“What they did yesterday (Thursday) was not AGM and they can’t conduct board election like that. It is so unfortunate we have a court order and people are still saying they are having board meeting as far as I am concerned, that was an illegal meeting. Election of the BoT is by AGM, I am chairman of the Board and if there should be a meeting of the board, I should be the one to convey it. So if some people are calling for a meeting it is an illegal meeting and what they did is null and void, it can’t hold, it has no effect on anybody”, he declared.

He corroborated the position f the association’s executive committee on the tenure of the board. According to him, “the tenure of the board has just expired, so if they want to have another board election, there will be an AGM which I will supervise, so they are not the people to do that. It is at the AGM that the board is elected. The tenure has just expired and I will ask the ASECO to call for an AGM and in that AGM, they will do board election. I will ask them to call for the meeting soon”, he concluded.

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
