As the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) braces up for the February 2025 election, a chieftain and incumbent General Secretary of the group at the Onne Seaport chapter, Mr Chinedu Ikenga, has promised to be the voice of members.
Mr Ikenga is contesting for the chairmanship position of the chapter and while unveiling his 7-Point Agenda in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, he said, “I firmly believe that every member of ANLCA in general and Onne chapter, in particular, deserves a voice, and I am committed to be that voice for each and every one of you.”
The association’s scribe, who described ANLCA as a place of learning, growth and development, promised to continue on that part, noting that such values should be the touchstone for anybody who aspires to lead the chapter.
Relying on his accessibility, humility, honesty, integrity, inclusiveness, commitment, dedication and uprightness, industry watchers and critical stakeholders believe that Mr Ikenga is the man for the top job, all things being equal.
The GS, who is the chief executive of Prestige Associates Limited, said he would prioritise members’ needs and concerns when elected.
He also pledged to create a safe and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued, promote a friendly and conducive environment for business to thrive, ensure ANLCA becomes a better place for members, and create opportunities that would guarantee members’ welfare.
He also promised to sustain and improve on the foundation led by previous administrations for the benefit of the group.
After launching his manifesto, Mr Ikenga visited some of the government agencies at the ports, including the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), the West African Container Terminal (WACT), and the Onne Multipurpose Terminal (OMT), among others.
