Nigeria: New CRFFN Chairman Promises Professionalism

In an apparent realisation of the level of professional inadequacy among many freight forwarding practitioners, the new chairman, Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN), Hakeem Olanrewaju, has promised to focus on training and retraining of freight forwarders and to leverage on Nigeria’s recent admission by the International Federation of Freight Forwarders (FIATA).

He made this promise as part of his acceptance speech after winning the elections and his subsequent swearing- in before the formal inauguration by the Minister of Transport, Yusuf Suleiman.
