Chairman of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Onne Seaport chapter, Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku, has unveiled 2 Mini-buses to cushion the effect of the high cost of transportation on members.
The buses, which were unveiled on September 2, 2025 at the ANLCA Secretariat in Onne, Rivers State, are to convey members from the Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT) to Customs and terminals at the Onne Seaport.
Speaking in an interview with Nigerian MomentumNews Online & Magazine, the Chairman of ANLCA, Onne Seaport chapter, Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku, said the gesture was in fulfillment of his campaign promises to members of the chapter.
He disclosed that the essence of the additional mini-buses was to strengthen the ease of doing business with the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and as well, cushion the effect of high transportation charges currently being faced by members of ANLCA in the course of carrying out their daily businesses at the port.
The chapter chairman further assured of his continued collaboration with the Nigeria Customs Service, in accordance with the policy thrust of CGC Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, whose leadership style has changed the narrative in the management and activities of the Nigeria Customs Service.
While unveiling the mini-buses, Barr. Raymond Onyimba, Principal Staff Officer (PSO) to the National President of ANLCA, Mr. Emenike Kingsley Nwokeoji; described Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku as a “Political Bulldozer” and a “Politically Good Man.”
He lauded Chief Isikaku for following the foot step of the National President, by fulfilling one of his electioneering campaign promises as quick as possible.
In the same vein, the Public Relations Officer (PRO), of ANLCA, Onne Seaport chapter, Hon. Obinna Nwachukwu, lauded Chief Ifeanyi Isikaku for responding to the logistics need of members, through the unveiling of the 2 Mini-buses.
