I Predicted Increase In Terminal Charges Before I Left Office –Farinto

Former acting National President of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Dr. Kayode Farinto, has supported the recent increase in terminal charges imposed by terminal operators.

In a chat with our correspondent the former ANLCA acting President defended his predictions about terminal charge increases, indicating that he had foreseen the situation during his tenure and had advised ANLCA members to prepare for the terminal rate hike.

Farinto said that the rise in terminal charges was inevitable, citing various factors contributing to this situation. He pointed out that the indices of doing business at the seaport encouraged these increases, mainly due to the lack of a reviewed concession agreement, bad infrastructures dollarization among others.

He highlighted that terminal operators had to deal with the dollarization of terminal handling charges, with no fixed government-set rate. Instead, they sourced dollars from the black market to meet their payment obligations to the federal government, further justifying the need for a review of these charges.

He also noted that infrastructure and security concerns within the Nigerian ports has further contributed to why the increase is inevitable

He stressed the absence of a delineated port area, suggesting that clear boundaries and improved security measures were essential to maintain the integrity of the port operations.

He further discussed the challenges in establishing a port community system and emphasized the need for better security and cooperation between various stakeholders to ensure the safety of goods and vessels.

He also noted the impact of fuel price increases on the industry, noting that rising fuel costs affected both cargo operations and investors, including his own small hotel business.

Farinto clarified that despite being an investor, he recognized that terminal operators needed to invest in new equipment and maintain their operations.

He stressed the importance of striking a balance between supporting investment and addressing rising charges.

Farinto however advocated for a constructive dialogue between stakeholders and terminal operators to find a mutually acceptable solution to the current challenges.

Farinto urged the terminal operators to make whatever increase they intend to add have human interface in order to allow succour for importers

He disagreed with the idea that charges couldn’t be increased and stressed the importance of approaching the issue professionally.

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
