The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) coming up Wednesday, 15th March will attract senior officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria Police and the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria (CRFFN).
The AGM is billed to take place at the Eko Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos.

It could be recalled that the ANLCA 2023 AGM had before been shifted several times due to the lingering crises rocking the association in the past four years, until the CRFFN stepped in to invoke its regulatory powers for the event to take place.
The AGM is expected to among other things chat a new course for the association and bring to an end the lingering crises. The event will also kick- start the process of preparation for the National Executive Committee (NECOM) election as the tenure of the present NECOM expires next month.
Registered members of the association from across all the zones in the country are expected to physically participate at the AGM.
