Should licensed customs agents come under one umbrella again?

Wahab Ishola (ANLCA)
I believe it is in the making already, because if we can keep our differences apart and come together for the three days withdrawal of service from the ports, then there is unity amongst the associations.
It’s also up to the top executives of our associations to decide that. But, it’s obvious that ANLCA, NAGAFF and Council of Managing Directors can not do it alone and with time we will get there. The Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria should work towards achieving this and serving as our regulator.

Alabi Segun (Clearing Agent)
Yes, it’s obvious; for one reason which is unity; which is the purpose of their coming together to form one body and an unbreakable association. In the past there had been conflicts of interest, but the latest move is towards achieving one objective, which is asking the associations to unify.
Coming together will make room for articulation of views, breaking of new grounds and attract attentions when the need is necessary. It will also be an advantage to the Council for Regulation of Freight Forwarding.

Okon Ndubuisi (NAGAFF)
Their coming together will do a lot of good to all clearing agents. They did it once when the issue of strike was burning, and I believe it should continue, so it shouldn’t be a barrier.
Unity will bring a lot of bond and open doors to freight forwarding practice in Nigeria. The government as well as the Council should assist in achieving this.
It’s a necessity and it is possible, only if the three associations are willing to let go of all their differences and allow unity and peace so as to move our profession forward.

Lewis Oginni (ANLCA)
 It’s a good idea, I support it. It is because of issues like this that the Council was inaugurated. But, because we were not unified before now, we were faced with a lot of challenges such as illegal charges by terminal operators and shipping companies and our voice as freight forwarders is not being heard by the government.
If we all can be united and allow the Council to perform its duties, we will go places and this will boost our profession.

Wole Adejumo (ANLCA)
There is strength in unity, so I support the idea; we have one objective that as a union, you ensure the welfare of your members and things or issues that can enhance promotion of this profession.
Tribes or fractions do not matter, but the professionalism needed in doing what is to be done to enable the government have a listening ear when we call and also to make it known that we are regulated and controlled in unity.

Obom Anne (NAGAFF)
Yes, that was the reason why the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding was inaugurated in the first place and it’s a known fact that no matter the faction that you belong to, you still maintain your identity.
Freight forwarding is a long chain and it does not mean license to operate, the way we do things differ but we all perform the same function. So, the Council will act as our mouth piece and regulator; seeing to the affairs of the freight forwarding in Nigeria.

Walter Onyeasola (NAGAFF, Seme)
In our last meeting, something of this nature was discussed; the chairman was advised on how to bring the agents together on the need to work with other agents. Even though we are on different boards, I prefer the coming together so that whenever there is an emergency, we will be speaking with one voice.
But looking at the leadership, we can’t say for sure if it’s going to take place because everybody must have to agree together.

Mark Hugo (ANLCA, Seme)
It will be good for the three associations to come together, it will be more preferable but the problem to consider in doing this is the leadership.
When everyone is under different bodies, the leadership and policies are different and if they are to come together, there must be an agreement so that we can be taken seriously. However, I must confess that the kind of leadership that we have does not have the interest of the agents at heart and we are not getting the best from them, I doubt if they will even succumb to the idea.

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
