The Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers’ Council; Mr Emmanuel Jime has assured that the International Cargo Tracking Note (ICTN) will be re-introduced in a matter of weeks.

Jime gave the assurance on Sunday in Lagos, while briefing senior Editors about the agenda of his administration.

He told the senior journalists that time was ripe for the reintroduction of the ICTN, even as he assured that, the ICTN, which was once operated in the Nigerian port system, would be at very minimal cost.

Jime also disclosed that the Council was done with identifying the handlers of the ICTN. “Time has now come for the full implementation of the International Cargo Tracking Note, we have so progressed with this particular effort that the promoters of this platform have already been identified, due diligence has also been conducted, we are now at the stage where we will in a few weeks from now announce the winner of that particular allotment and this ultimately begins the commencement of the implementation of the International Cargo Tracking Note”, he stated.

According to him, the ICTN is a portal that can track cargoes from the port of origin to the port of destination, and also identify the contents of the containers as they are transported across ports. “Obviously, security issues can best be tackled when you know exactly what is in a container before it leaves, obviously, you know it is now easier for the Customs to perform their duties without telling this nation about under-declaration, because International Cargo Tracking Note will tell us the mass and the tonnage of that container is carrying”.

Jime said the nation is better-off when it knows before hand what exactly is arriving at her shores, even as he argued that, while scanners may be needed in the ports, the Cargo Tracking Note offers a more assured opportunity than scanners, which will only be concerned about the cargoes after they have arrived at the country.

He also assured that it is the priority of his administration to actualize the passage and eventually assent to the National Transport Commission (NTC) Bill.

According to him, the once-passed Bill is what is needed to give the Shippers Council the teeth to bite as a regulator of the transport sector.

He confirmed that the Bill has already passed the House of Representatives. Before I leave office, the NTC Bill will be passed. Once it is passed, it remains how it will get to the President for his assent. He said the bridge would be crossed when the Bill gets there.

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
