FRONT PAGE COMMENT: Hassan Bello To Maritime Industry: My Successor Jime Is ‘A Man Of Steel’

The gathering was exclusive; the setting was equally cozy. Even though it was organised for an accomplished maritime administrator, the event was hosted far from the maddening and hustling characteristic of the port city of Apapa.

Occasion was the lunch that was organised in honour of the immediate past Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council; Barrister Hassan Bello.

Jime & Bello

For weeks, a group of senior maritime journalists who pride themselves as ‘Friends of Hassan Bello’ brainstormed over how best to show appreciation to a man whose path crossed many in diverse ways while he was the CEO of the Shippers Council.

As journalists, the choice was between holding a colloquium and private exclusive lunch. After days of back and forth, the overwhelming decision was the former.

And because, he has many friends, the other issue is about who and who to invite without ‘offending some’. Eventually, the lot fell on his successor; Mr Emmanuel Jime who eventually graced the day to witness how his predecessor; Hassan Bello was celebrated by the least expected group; the media.

And taking advantage of the occasion, being the new Shippers Council CEO’s first encounter with the maritime media. Hassan Bello gave an inkling about the content of his successor’s quality. Bello described his successor; Jime as a ‘Man of Steel’, with immeasurable qualities and stupendous wealth of experience, from which the nation’s maritime industry truly stands to gain.

Characteristically, not dwelling on his own achievements while in office, Bello pointed out that Jime was twice a member of the House of Representatives, former CEO of Nigeria Export Processing Zone Authority (NEPZA) and Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly.

Humbly, he said: “My successor is a man of steel, a man who has valued experience that I can never dream of. He will perform more than all of us put together (referring to past Executive Secretaries of NSC). I assure you that he is going to do that”.

It is also quite instructive that, Jime assured that he would continue with all the programmes which Bello promoted while in office.

He specifically identified the International Cargo Tracking Network (ICTN), among others as very critical for the good of the industry, even as he acknowledged that the Nigerian Shippers’ Council has a good foundation.

As stated by Bello, it is true that the Council has always been lucky to have wonderful CEOs who have performed creditably during their tenure in the Council.

While recommending a robust media relationship for his successor, Bello described the media as critical to economic and political development of any nation. He specifically called on the maritime media to extend the same level of cooperation given to him when he was in the Council, to his successor.

As discrete as the organizers made the event to be, the founder of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Dr. Boniface Aniebonam took the pain to attend. He was specifically invited.

He commended the ‘Media Friends of Hassan Bello’ for the honour bestowed on him, adding that it was a wonderful thing to come from journalists in the industry. He stressed that it was a honour that every former chief executive officer would wish for.

Aniebonam’s presence added to the growing list of friends that Jime is cultivating. The NAGAFF Founder had earlier registered his association’s displeasure with the new Executive Secretary for not honouring NAGAFF’s invitation for a similar event in the past.

But, while giving a brief address towards the end of the event, Aniebonam disclosed that he (and NAGAFF) now has a change of mind, and have taken Jime as a friend.

He explained that he was doing so based on every indication that Jime is a good man and will impact positively on the industry.

Welcome, man of steel!

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
