There are indications that the Festus Ejiofor faction of National Council of Managing Directors of License Customs Agents may be dropped from the Maritime Advocacy and Action Group (MAAG),following the lingering court cases between him and the Lucky Amiwero factional of the association.
Sources disclosed that the national coordinator of MAAG, recently, discovered that the two factions are currently in court and it may affect MAAG’s position on issues surrounding statement credited to NCMDLCA.
According to the source, there is need for the Ejiofor faction to put the association in other before he can be allowed to make input into activities of MAAG. “We would not want to be involved in any court case most especially, statement made through the council representing MAAG.
The insider source further noted, “it will be very unfair for the National Council’s representative to be part of MAAG meetings , they need to settle out of court before they can be re considered back into the fold, but we are going to meet over the issue"
"We thought that the court case between the two warring factions is over, but we just discovered that there is still a pending court case without a final verdict from any judge”.
Insider sources at MAAG told Shipping Position Daily in Lagos last week, that since the case is still pending in court over who is the rightful and legitimate leader ; the Ejiofor faction of NCMDLCA will have to go .
"Since the national coordinator of MAAG is fully aware of the case now, he will come up with a decision about it and from the way he spoke, I think the NCMDLCA may be sanctioned or dropped from MAAG”.
He further said that NCMDLCA lack coordination stressing that MAAG constitution does not give room for two members of an association to attend the advocacy group 's meeting.
Primarily, he called for the two factions to settle out of court, set down and allow other members of the association to carry on.
