He said, "the application fee is N5000,registration is N7000 and annual subscription for 2018 is N10,000. The data capturing started today (Monday) and it is going to extend to all chapters of ANLCA from tomorrow"
"Existing members are not going to pay for application fee, but they would pay for registration and annual subscription", he said.
Also speaking with our correspondent, the National Publicity Secretary of ANLCA, Mr. Joe Sani said that the registration and data capturing is taking place simultaneously at the Eastern and Western Zones of the association.
He said that the headquarters is sending out a message to all its chapters to mobilise all ANLCA members for the CRFFN exercise.
"The governing council elections of the CRFFN is coming up on the 29th of June, you are also aware that we have been in court, thirdly, you are also aware that we have not been participating actively in CRFFN affairs"
"When we got wind about the conditions that CRFFN laid down, we had to call a meeting of our members and inform them of our situation, after this our national president proposed to apply political solution to it especially these onorous conditions that has been placed on associations"
"What we saw was that most of these conditions were fixed to deprive ANLCA members from participating in that elections.
The President got the mandate of the members from the west and the east and he was able to get us a good condition.
After all this have been done, we thought that we needed to register our members and here we are today, trying to get our members registered"
