The institute has equally harped on the importance of the CILT Act currently before the lawmakers, highlighting the importance of the Bill to the maritime, transport and logistics chain in Nigeria.
 

‎The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) has said that there is need to sensitize members of the National Assembly on the enormity of the various maritime Bills before the house awaiting enactment.
 
The institute has equally harped on the importance of the CILT Act currently before the lawmakers, highlighting the importance of the Bill to the maritime, transport and logistics chain in Nigeria.
 
In an interview with Shipping Position Daily in his office last week, National Executive Director of the CILT, Mr. Paul Ndibe noted that the domestication of the royal chatter of the institute into an Act is long overdue‎ for an institute established since 1958.
 
He said that CILT is currently at the stage of  trying to sensitize members of the National Assembly so that they can expedite action on the Act.
 
The National Executive Director also noted that the CILT is also collaborating with the Federal Ministry of Transport to ensure that the National Transport Policy is released for benefit of all transport sectors.
 
"What the CILT is bringing to the fore is that it's Act should be enacted so that it will have the necessary teeth to back whatever action they are taking in terms of education and training, regulations, sanctions of members and stipulating the mode of operation for all sectors"
 
"The draft bill is at the National Assembly, we are aware it has gone through the first reading, we are now trying to sensitize members of the National Assembly so that they can expedite action on it so that when we get into 2015, we will be doing implementation, we need their awareness".
 
‎"It is their duty to enact the laws, but they cannot enact a law they are not conversant with or they don't know the impact, some of them are not professionals in the sector so it is our duty to make them see it in our perspective" Ndibe stated.
 
He noted that professional training institutions are increasingly producing professionals, and these professionals are already‎ on the field working, but there is no regulation to guide and monitor them.‎  
 
This, according to him is what the institute as a professional body is supposed to be doing, but there is no law yet to back it up.
 
‎Ndibe further expressed the desire of the CILT to sustain the accreditation of professional institutions in the country.
 
"We accredit even the universities that teach transport because it is under our domain, we monitor them and some of them write our professional exams".
 
"Without even the Act, currently, the CILT has accredited over 12 centers and universities that provide teachings and knowledge on transport. Some of them includes: Redeemer University, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Multimix, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Lagos State University, University of Port Harcourt and so on".
 
This accreditation according to him is valid for three years after which failure to renew, the institution will be deleted from the CILT memorandum of understanding.
 
‎Ndibe recalled that the CILT was recently given a territorial status which is the first in Africa, this according to him, calls for greater responsibility.
