The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) has reaffirmed its commitment to revolutionising  freight forwarding practise and ensuring global standard practice and ease of doing business at the ports.

The President of NAGAFF, Chief Tochukwu Ezisi stated this at the 25th anniversary /N500 million Naira permanent secretariat acquisition project launch in Lagos, last week.

Chief Esizi pointed out that the birth of NAGAFF in 1999  marked out the enthronement of professionalism which  led to  honest declarations that tripled  huge revenue generations of the Nigeria Customs Service.

“NAGAFF as a public advocacy group has ensured that all revenues due to government through import duties and exercise fees are duly and promptly paid by all practitioners.

“To realise this noble course , NAGAFF set up various arms and committee that took day and night to realise this goal in collaboration with the Customs. NAGAFF has helped to block all areas of revenue leakages by ensuring that the trading public is compliant with the extant laws,” he said

He urged the Nigeria Port Authority, Nigeria Shippers Council and Nigeria Customs Service to step up their game and adhere to global standards to enable the country compete with other maritime nations.

Speaker after speaker at the silver jubilee of NAGAFF extolled the virtues of the Founder, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam.

They described the frontline freight forwarder and Founder of New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP) as a role model, a  great man  of outstanding leadership qualities who delivered the milestone for the liberation of freight forwarders in Nigeria .
