The training arm of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF); the NAGAFF Academy has matriculated 34 new intakes to equip them with the necessary skills, competence, and values desirable in the freight forwarding profession.

Some of the new students of the NAGAFF Academy taking their Oath as students of the Academy during the Matriculation programme last Friday at the NAGAFF Headquarters in Apapa

The founder of NAGAFF, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, while encouraging the new students also urged them to develop a great quest for knowledge and take training seriously to attain national and global relevance in freight forwarding.

Speaking at the 2nd Matriculation of the NAGAFF Academy, he enjoined the new intakes to stand up and take the responsibility of tackling the challenges ahead.

“Earn your living with integrity and honour, shun bribery and corrupt practices in and out of the ports, digest every lecture and knowledge imparted into you by the academy and you’ll certainly be successful” he advised.

“NAGAFF is a revolutionary organization set up to shed the ills of freight forwarding in Nigeria. Education is the key to achieving this objective. Anything to the contrary you are not there. I have been able to do those things that I did with great minds because of the level of my education and knowledge, especially in what I do. As the founder and first president of NAGAFF, I was armed with knowledge. I worked with the Customs and thereafter I went to do these courses you are doing now, even as a president of NAGAFF. These courses prepared me for the greater challenges that is why I don’t read up anything to confront any situation. When you lack the knowledge you’ll be discussing morals rather than the point of law.” Dr. Boniface said.

While giving the Matriculation Lecture titled: “Freight Forwarding as a Career: Benefits to the Nation”, the guest speaker Mr. Ray Ugochukwu stated the challenges faced in the industry particularly affecting the business of freight forwarding which include political intrigues insecurity, lack of good legislation amongst others.

He added that these problems can only be effectively tackled if there’s proper education and implementation of the knowledge acquired. “As you equip yourself, also equip your staff because if your staff doesn’t get it right then you’ll not get it right” he said.

Mr Ugochukwu elucidated the several benefits freight forwarding has for nation. “Freight forwarding in Nigeria has great potential in affecting the success and growth of the economy of the nation and the world at large through revenue generation, creation of job opportunities, facilitating international trade amongst others” he noted.

He however advised the management of the academy to look into the use of technology in delivering online lectures which he claimed will improve the level of growth and global relevance of the students.

The climax of the ceremony was the administration of Matriculation Oath on the students by the Chairman Board of Trustees of NAGAFF; Mr Chidiebere Enelamah

In an interview with one of the matriculating students who identified himself as Adelaja Olalekan, he expressed his joy and appreciation to the NAGAFF Academy for giving him such opportunity to be trained as a freight forwarder. “This is a dream come true and I’m happy for taking this decision. I am optimistic that at the end of this journey that started today, greater heights lies ahead for me” Olalekan said.

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
