” And we are still battling in the appeal court to establish the fact that CRFFN is not an agency of the government.

Aniebonam who is the Chairman of New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPC) noted that 21 years of association’s existence has proven beyond doubts that there is hope for the freight forwarding practitioners.
