ANLCA Boss Bemoans Problems

President of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agent, ANLCA, Prince Olayiwola  Shittu has stated that the situation of ANLCA was a challenge as they have so many  problems on the ground.

He said there was a vacuum of 18 months before he came into office when the  administrative officer was in charge of affairs of ANLCA leading to certain problems.

Shittu said he believed in doing the right thing at the right time, adding “I don’t give  bribe, I don’t take bribe.”

According to the ANLCA president, the only source of fund available to the organisation  is the contributions from members.

He blamed the past leadership of the association for the present problems facing ANLCA  because they failed to utilised the money they realised to uplift the association.

Shittu said he was one of the pioneers of a national identity for freight forwarding in  Nigeria.

“In 2000, I sponsored a bill titled ‘Council for the Regulation of Clearing and  Farwarding in Nigeria’. It lacked a follow up and so died a natural death.

He said “I have never collected any special money from FRFFN except sitting allowance of  between N20,000 and N30,000  and I have never travelled abroad on the platform of CRFFN  member, neither was I given an official car.”
