The newly appointed Board of the Nigerian Shippers Council under the chairmanship of Hon. Mai Mala Buni has commended the Executive Secretary of the Council, Hassan Bello and entire management staff for their positive role in shipping development in Nigeria.
Hon. Buni stated this at the council’s headquarters in Apapa Lagos recently when he led other Board members on an inaugural meeting with the council management.
He assured the Shippers Council boss and entire management team of the maximum support of the board in realising the council’s target.
According to the Board chairman, “I would like to acknowledge the contributions made by the Executive Secretary of the Council and his team to the development of shipping business in Nigeria. The Councils enabling act provides for its Governing Board and an Executive Secretary/CEO responsible for the day to day management and implementation of policies approved by the board.
“This board under my watch shall corporate with board members and management team wherever and whenever necessary to improve the council”
In his welcome address, Executive Secretary/CEO of the Shippers Council, Mr Hassan Bello said the board was the ninth since the establishment of the council in 1978.
Bello noted that would have had its board a long time ago and that the progress of the council would be more if it had the board than without a board. According to him, the board is coming in at a time that the Shippers’ Council is undergoing a lot of changes both internally and externally.
He commended the caliber of people on the board of the council, describing the organization as lucky to have them.
He described the chairman as an experienced man, a coordinator of men, knowledgeable, and a man that can knock and open doors. Bello urged the board to swing into action immediately because according to him, there is a limited time.
