The Registrar, Council for Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), Mr Mike Jukwe, has identified inadequate funding for inability of the council to fulfil its mandates.
\nJukwe made the observation in an interview with newsmen in Lagos yesterday.
\nOur source reports that the council was created by the CRFFN\u00a0 Act\u00a0 No 16\u00a0 of\u00a0 2007.
\nIt\u2019s mandates are to regulate the freight forwarding practitioners in the country, set standards of practice and impose sanctions on practitioners who failed to adopt international best practices.
\nThe registrar said that the council had not been able to engage in capacity building for practitioners to adopt international best practices in freight forwarding.
\nJukwe said that the main source of the council\u2019s revenue was the practitioners\u2019 operating fees being collected from freight forwarders.
\nHe said that with appropriate funding, there should have been many highly educated freight forwarders who would have changed the face of Nigerian maritime industry.
\n\u201cIt is better to catch them young and start early.
\n\u201cWith the training programmes put in place by the council, it is expected that the practice of freight forwarding in Nigeria will conform to international standards.
\n\u201cThe standards are to ensure best practices for the much-needed employment and wealth creation that will ultimately impact positively on national growth,\u2019\u2019 Jukwe said.
\nThe registrar, however, said that the council would not fail to develop a modern and globally competitive freight forwarding system in the country.
\nHe expressed delight that the council was enjoying the cooperation of all stakeholders, particularly the Nigeria Customs Service, as directed by Section 19 (1&2) of the CRFFN\u00a0 Act.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
