NAGAFF Founder Congratulates NIMASA DG, Expresses Freight Forwarders’ Readiness to Partner with Agency
The founder of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, has congratulated the new Director General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA). Dr. Bashir Jamoh, saying that freight forwarders were ready to give him every support.
Aniebonam called on the new DG to do his best in taking the apex maritime agency to high heights by encouraging capacity building.
He said that NAGAFF was ready to partner with NIMASA under Jamoh in the area of human capacity building.
According to him, the apex maritime agency could do well by using its corporate social responsibility to train freight forwarders.
Aniebonam expressed optimism that the current DG could do better for the freight forwarders, noting that his predecessors “never added any value to the relevance and growth of freight forwarding profession in Nigeria”.
He said, “Dr Bashir Jamoh as the new Dg of Nimasa is neither here nor there in the eyes of young freight forwarders of Nigeria under the control and regulation of CRFFN. This is because his predecessors never added any value to the relevance and growth of Freight Forwarding profession in Nigeria. Freight forwarding practioners are the most critical element involved in the actualization and realisation of shipping business as a derived demand. Whatever we in Nagaff are looking forward to is a responsible partnership between CRFFN and NIMASA in this new dispensation of change of leadership.
“We in Nagaff do congratulate Dr Bashir Jamoh as he takes responsibility and together we shall make Nigeria and maritime business great once again in Nigeria”.
