How do you think MAN Oron can compete with its contemporaries?

Captain Waredi Enuisuoh

For MAN ORON to measure up internationally goes beyond the institution. As a matter of fact, the whole certification process, standards, and even the Nigerian maritime industry at large will play a part.

Infrastructure alone cannot give you certificate recognition. It is the quality of your services that earns you international recognition. The MTI’s (Maritime Training Institutions) should look at being a research center for maritime. We should also be looking at developing courses that will produce professionals that will be able to provide support for the Automated Maritime Future. Innovation is better than playing catch-up

Engineer Bob Yousuo (President, NMOWTSSA)

If the Federal Government can get qualified lecturers and are willing to pay them good remuneration, they will be willing to stay. This is a professional institution that cannot be equated to other institutions. We are also expected to have training vessels. If these training vessels and other facilities are working well, IMO will be able to rate us high. If we don’t have training vessels and adequate sea time, how will they give us the approval to get unlimited certificates? If the federal government can do those two things, our school will be one of the best in Africa.

Captain Deji Abegunde

They have been performing brilliantly compared to other nautical institutions anywhere in the world. They are doing their best. They have simulators that are working and can compete with any other simulators all over the world. The Academy has produced lots of people and there is an improvement. Everything is fine. It is just that we are supposed to have multiple of such in Nigeria. We are supposed to have multiple centers like Oron. Oron is the one monopolizing these resources. The products of MAN Oron are okay and can compete anywhere in the world. They are all over countries like Singapore and they are competing very well. I think I will give them a pass mark. They should build other nautical colleges in other to compete better.

Engineer Matthew Alalade (Former President, Merchant Navy)

I know that the Academy is doing very well for the past two years, that is why the Rector was given another term. I believe the performance of the academy is quite commendable. I think they only need the support of the government to ensure that these standards are sustained.

Captain Tajudeen Alao (President, MMA)

Training at the Academy had always been IMO Model courses. The shortcomings have always been in areas of Lecturers, Simulators and International trading ships for practical exposure. The Academy is run according to civil service guidelines in funding, bureaucracy, and also the Nigerian factor. Leadership too has not been based on professionalism but political consideration. The shipping companies who are end-users have not committed their services to the Academy. Lately, we have a leadership that is professional, committed, highly-disciplined to leave a legacy. We have an Academy to be proud of.

Captain Akinpelumi Taiwo

It is straightforward. They need competent instructors and state-of-the-art facilities. We should also make sure that the lecturers or instructors are properly audited, so that they can monitor the content that they are giving out to the students. They should also make sure that the model courses and syllabus in school are in accordance with courses accredited by the IMO.

Captain Alfred Oniye

The following must be put in place. First, Training Ship, that is any Maritime institution without a training ship is substandard. This job is practical and not theoretical. Secondly, students shouldn’t be certified with Personal Survival Techniques (PST) without knowing how to swim properly. CoC exams should be updated to current sea experience knowledge and those conducting the exams should be seasoned Seafarers (Masters/Chief Engineers). They should not expired seafarers who are far from the current happenings on sea. Finally, the Academic curriculum should be updated to meet the international standards.

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
