Former president, National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Eugene Nweke, has said Sen. Gbemisola Saraki’s takeover of affairs in the maritime sector was ‘a breath of fresh air’ and movement from old order.
In a statement made available to BUSINESSINSIDERNG, Nweke said the Minister’s approach was an administrative redirections and reassurances and a kind of positive migration from old order of addressing industry concerns with uncouth political sagacity of no truthfulness.
He said, “Listening to her speeches and responses to industry questions as posited, I noticed two key commendable leadership attributes. One, she spoke as someone who is conversant with the happenings in the industry, as such communicates freely the industry language with greater emphasis.
Two, she spoke as someone with both administrative focus and listening capacity.”
Also, the Founding President, Nigerian Shipowners Association (NISA), Chief Isaac Jolapamo, said Saraki has “deep knowledge of the industry” and “knows what to do” to reposition the transport sector.
“She is not a green horn. She knows what to do. If indeed government wants to develop the maritime industry, government knows and understands that she has the wherewithal and the experience.
“Having come from the lawmaking side of the maritime industry to the executive side, she can do it better unlike what we experienced in the past,” Chief Jolapamo said.
