Ex-Chairman CRFFN Governing Council Tasks Minister On Council Elections

A former chairman of the governing council of the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN); Alhaji Hakeem Olanrewaju has urged the Minister of Transportation; Mr Rotimi Amaechi to take a second look at the arrangements that are being put in pace for elections into the governing council of the CRFFN.

HAKEEM OLARENWAJU

In a statement he issued on Sunday, the former CRFFN chair raised alarm about the membership of the electoral committee that has been constituted.

According to Olanrewaju, even though freight forwarders appreciate the Minister for the thought of constituting the CRFFN election committee, but he added that it was doubtful if the minister actually thought about the integrity of members of the electoral body.

“It is the uncertainty whether the Honorable Minister indeed cares much about both the professional integrity and the integrity of the electoral processes starting with the committee composition, especially with regards to scrutiny of their respective integrity and putting in the right perspective their parochial interests in representations, if any”, the statement added.

The CRFFN ex-boss, also noted that a fundamental error has been established in how the intended electioneering process would go.

According to him, it was wrong that, the immediate past governing council was not properly-dissolved. He also alleged that some non-freight forwarders who were members of the last governing council had been re-appointed by the Minister of Transportation.

Olanrewaju added that, “unconfirmed reports have it that, there exists an internal understanding and arrangements for the appointed politicians to work assiduously and to deploy a process that will guarantee the return of the outgone freight forwarders back into the Governing Council of the CRFFN.

Raising further alarm about the alleged intending foul play, the freight forwarder alleged further that the immediate past Governing Council of the CRFFN set up a ‘Tactical & Strategic Electoral Committee’ before their tenure elapsed, and that, “the components of such electoral arrangements are still very much around in the present making”.

“This expression is apt because we aware that, “in a “first-past-the-post electoral system, a vote is tactical when it is cast for a selected candidate not on merit, but to best influence to ensure such candidate wins in the constituency”.

Tactical voting also includes strategic incentives granted to misrepresent the electorates choices via a manipulated and preference electoral system.

Tactical voting arrangements, involves subtly structuring and agreeing on an incentive that will be redeemed during or later, having the capacity to necessitate and influencing the electioneering process and the election results even when the candidates in favor is a misfits and unpopular”, he added.

According to the statement another crucial observations is the hidden identity of the Electoral Committee Members, which “further cast integrity question on the electoral arrangements”.

It added that, “based on the foregoing, freight forwarders require a confidence-rekindling statement by the Honorable Minister on the issues raised above”.

The ex-chair of CRFFN argued that, under the circumstances and given the anxieties, it is better to allow the Nigeria Shippers’ Council to conduct the coming governing council election, as it did in 2008, in accordance with provisions of the CRFFN ACT of 2007.

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
