CRFFN Chairman Admits Governing Council Tenure Expiration

The controversy surrounding the tenure of members of the governing council of the Council for the Regulations of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN) has apparently been to rest, as the Chairman of the governing council, Col. Tsanni Abubakar (rtd), has confirmed the expiration of the tenure of the council members. He confirmed this during a recent event in Lagos.

ABUBAKAR TSANNI

There have been controversies about the tenure of the governing council members. Some have argued that it is four years while others argued that it is four years.

However, speaking at a recent function organized by the National Association of Government Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) to honour the immediate past Executive Secretary of Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC) Mr. Hassan Bello, Col. Tsanni Abubakar, confirmed the end of the tenure of the council members, while he thanked the founder of NAGAFF, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, for standing by him throughout his tenure as the chairman of the council.

He told the gathering that: “I must not forget the support enjoyed from the products and personality of NAGAFF that represented our association during my last tenure of chairman of CRFFN. I must confess they were of much support to my leadership. I am really so grateful to them for their contribution, special thanks to the founder of NAGAFF; Dr. Aniebonam who stood by me from the beginning to the end of tenure, thank you my brother well done”.

Recall that the refusal of members of the governing council to admit their tenure expiration has drawn the irk of critical stakeholders who accused them of insincerity and being corrupt as a result of refusing to admit and return government property back to the council.

Speaking recently with our correspondent, suspended zonal coordinator of South West of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Sir John Oforbike opined that as long as members of the governing council are still enjoying the comfort of the position, it would be difficult for them to agree to terms that their tenure was over.

“So do you expect them to leave? If the system is working and the tenure is two years, once its two years then you are expected to leave and hand over the properties of the council. But there is no law here. Go and look at the history of the people there. Whatever they grab, it is very difficult to get it out of their hands or else they’ll cause confusion. They have decided not to leave because of the POF they want to collect” he said.

However, in a recent chat with our correspondent, a member of the governing council of CRFFN; Mr. Kayode Farinto, said the push for the amendment of the Act for a four-year tenure did not come from the CRFFN, but from the National Assembly.

Farinto admitted that the current governing Council of the CRFFN is seeking tenure elongation because it could not do much owing to circumstances beyond their power.

He had explained that after the Council election in April 2018, it took about three months before the inauguration of the Council and that with the COVID -19, it was difficult for the Council to really do much.

Farinto had informed our correspondent that there were so many loopholes in the Act that needed to be reviewed.

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
