EID EL FITRI: Nwabunike Task Govt On Maritime Security and Revenue

Enjoin Nigerians to be dedicated and committed to national development

ANLCA

Tony Iju Nwabunike, National President, ANLCA

The National President, Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA, Hon. Iju Tony Nwabunike has congratulated Muslims faithfuls and indeed all Nigerians to remain patriotic, committed and dedicated to the development of the Nigerian nation.

In his goodwill messages to Nigerian on the occassion of this year’s Eid El Fitri, the National President of ANLCA said, “As we join our Muslim brothers and sisters, especially those in the maritime industry, in celebrating Eid- El -Fitri , which marks the end of thirty days Ramadan fasting, I want to sincerely join you in prayers that may Allah accept your acts of worship and piety”.

Speaking on importance of the Maritime Industry the ANLCA helmsman said “As the second highest revenue earner, Nigeria’s maritime industry is the nation’s economic low hanging fruits capable of cushioning the temporary effect of reduced oil revenue”

His message further reads:

This year’s fasting and Eid- El -Fitri celebration are instructive , coming at a time the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had declared that it would deduct N112 billion from oil and gas proceeds for April to ensure continuous supply of petroleum products to the country and guarantee energy security.

Implications includes not having oil revenue for the federal government to share with the states and local governments

This situation is premised on the hike in crude oil prices on the deregulated downstream sector and the need for uninterrupted supply of petroleum products to citizens

Aside the economy, activities in our maritime industry also calls for increased security attention which the federal government (through NIMASA) is rising to the occasion with planned deployment of deep blue assets later this month.

It is anticipated that this move will go a long way in fighting piracy and other maritime crimes in the Gulf of Guinea and our country’s territorial waters.

Safety of vessels, cargoes and crews on our waters have direct impacts on our overall economy since the maritime sector is critical for us in the areas of trade, investment, employment and recreation

Further development of our maritime potentials will be a bold step towards economic diversification for job creation, addressing insecurity and positioning our ports for hub status in the West and Central African regions

While the government is consciously trying to address the Apapa gridlock, i implore that an emergency be declared to expedite the ongoing road construction works. This could come in form of 24 hours work by construction workers especially when the rains subside.

Any stop gap solution to Apapa traffic is bound to suffer setback of either extortion or other forms of sabotage until the roads are fully constructed for seamless access to the ports either through Apapa Oshodi Expressway or Apapa Ijora axis.

“I also implore that the Portharcourt to Eleme axis of the East West road and the adjoining portion leading to Onne Port,where you have a beehive of maritime activities, be attended to in good time for the collective benefits of government and port users”.

“For our brothers and sisters who are adherents of the Islamic faith, whatever ungodly thing we abstained from during the holy month of Ramadan, let’s resolve not to return to them after fasting”.

Together we can build a more peaceful, prosperous and economically viable country founded on true love for one, Nwabunike concluded.
