Dr Aniebonam however disclosed that if the report of the six-man committee is in favour of the dissolved executive council of the chapter of the association, there is the tendency that they will be reinstated to office.
"Tin can Island chapter has been dissolved and a six- man caretaker committee has been put in place to get back to us in three months, they are to get back to us under three weeks", he added.
"We are running an organisation and people must follow the provisions and the tenure of the present executives will expire this year and definitely elections will come up"
"And even if elections do not come up, the important thing is once the investigators come up with report, we will look at it and once it is okay, we can decide to return them back to office", Aniebonam disclosed.
On his part national president of the association; Chief Eugene Nweke said that, as pacesetters, the maritime industry is keen to know what happens at NAGAFF.
Nweke said that, "administratively in NAGAFF ,if for any reason you are elected to perform and one of the things you swore in oath of allegiance into office is to defend the NAGAFF constitution and to live and abide on the conduct, to ensure that there is reasonable peace and tranquility in the operation base".
He said that the headquarters of NAGAFF cannot allow a total collapse and a state of anarchy where security agencies are no longer comfortable with key officers of the command.
"We don't even want a situation whereby executive officers are no longer comfortable relating to one another" ,Nweke explained.
