– Dr Farinto ” My team will rescue our great association
Acting National President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents ANLCA),Dr Farinto Collins Kayode has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the rumoured restructuring of the federal Ministry of Transportation (FMOT).
Recall that the Acting National President of the Association has been in the forefront of clamouring for the new government to restructure the Federal Ministry of Transportation into the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, arguing that the FMOT is too big and as such cannot achieve much, especially in harnessing the full potentials.
The ANLCA helmsman also pleaded with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to assign core professionals both as a minister and agencies chief executives in the rumoured new ministry of waterways and Marine Transportation as according to him, this will quickly aid the country in harnessing the full potentials of the Nigerian Blue Economy.
Meanwhile, the former National Publicity Secretary NPS, has called on his members at the Ikorodu Chapter to vote for his team as the group is the only one that can rescue the association.
Dr Farinto and his campaign team in continuation of their sensitization of members towards the August NECOM election advised his teeming supporters to ” Shine their Eyes” and vote wisely.
He said ” We have carefully selected this team with people of integrity and track record to serve you and make ANLCA great again. Despite the crises, this present NECOM has made a great impact both in the association and the maritime industry. I don’t believe in making noise, I believe in actions. If some other people come to you, please asked them what they have done in ANLCA”.
Speaking further, Farinto said if elected into office, he will bring back the glorious day of the association and regain the lost respect which has eluded the foremost licensed customs agents group in the past years.
On operational challenges and government policies, Farinto said if elected alongside his team, he will work with the Federal government to make sure members of ANLCA get at least 1% from the cost of duty generation to the government.
He called on his members to understand the new exchange rate policy of the Federal government as it will soon stabilize.
Speaking earlier, the Ikorodu Chapter Chairman, Mr Martins Ikechukwu commended and thanked the Farinto team for coming to Ikorodu Chapter.
He told his members that he has known Farinto as the only candidate that can rescue ANLCA going by his antecedents and called on his members to vote for the team, while promising he will warehouse all the votes in Ikorodu Chapter for the Dr Farinto Collins and his team of contestants.
All contestants under the Farinto team also make their presentations seeking for votes from members of the Ikorodu Chapter of the association.
