According to him, no member of the association has cases to answer  with the police at Area B formation in the last three months noting that the clean slate signifies that NAGAFF is a responsible organisation.

 

He said ” First and foremost, I assumed duty as the Area Commander three months ago and I have handled so many cases about clearing agents but I have never seen any file connecting to members of NAGAFF.

 

 

“Kudos to NAGAFF and I wish this record will be maintained. However, if there is any problem ; my doors are open for discussion”,Dikwa stated.

 

He maintained that officers and men under his watch embarked on night patrol and monitoring to sanitize the port corridors .

Founder of NAGAFF, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam maintained that the association is a responsible group of practitioners in freight forwarding business .

 

The founder prayed for the Area Commander that God will promote him to the level of a commissioner before retirement , even as he recalled the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali’s visit to NAGAFF headquarters before his appointment as IGP..
