ANLCA Tin Can Island Chapter Gets New Executive Committee

…. Chairman Pledges to Enhance Customs Operations and Trade Facilitation

The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) has successfully sworn in its new executive committee members for the Tin Can Island Port Command chapter.

This milestone marks a peaceful transition, following a landslide victory by Prince Olawale Mathew Cole as the new chairman.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the association’s board of trustees, led by Chief Taiwo Mustapha and Mr. Kingsley Offor, secretary.

The newly elected executives are poised to tackle operational challenges, promote seamless work environments, and collaborate with government agencies to achieve effective positive change.

The new chairman, Prince Olawale Mathew Cole, aims to implement proactive procedures for stakeholders, targeting 48-hour cargo clearance. This goal is expected to be facilitated by the integration of B’Odogwu, a Nigeria Customs trade facilitation tool, at the port.

“We are committed to working closely with the Comptroller of the Command and all other government agencies at the port to ensure that our operations are seamless and efficient,” Prince Cole said.

 “We will also engage with our members and other stakeholders to identify areas of improvement and work together to address them.”

The Tin Can Island Port Command chapter’s new executive committee members include:

– *Chairman*: Olawale Mathew Cole

– *Vice Chairman*: Sonniel Onochie

– *Secretary*: Franky Paul Nwegbe

– *Treasurer*: Yetunde Ilori

– *Financial Secretary*: Susan Ogunwunmi

– *Assistant Secretary*: Ijigade Temitope

– *Public Relations Officer*: Onome Joy A

The newly inaugurated public relations officer of the chapter, Comrade Onome Joy A, expressed her optimism about the new executive committee, saying, “A new sheriff is now in town, and Prince Olawale Mathew Cole is ready to take the reins.

“He has come to seek to redress the operational challenges and fight for a seamless work environment.”

The ANLCA Tin Can Island Chapter’s new executive committee is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing customs operations and trade facilitation at the port.

With their commitment to proactive procedures, collaboration with government agencies, and engagement with stakeholders, they are poised to make a positive impact on the trade facilitation process.

As the new executive committee begins its tenure, it will face several challenges, including the need to improve cargo clearance times, reduce congestion at the port, and enhance compliance with customs regulations.

However, with their experience, expertise, and commitment to excellence, they are well-equipped to address these challenges and take the ANLCA Tin Can Island Chapter to new heights.
