The National President of National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), High Chief Tochukwu Ezisi, known for his generosity and commitment to the growth of freight forwarding in Nigeria, has donated a brand-new 18-seater bus worth over ₦40 million to his association on Friday.
Marked by pomp and pageantry, the hand over event, which took place at the NAGAFF headquarters in Apapa Lagos, was celebrated by members, executives, and well-wishers whpo gathered to witness the commissioning of the association’s first-ever official vehicle in its 25-year history at the national level.
In his speech at the commissioning of the bus, the Founder of NAGAFF, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, expressed immense gratitude to Chief Ezisi, praising the gesture as both historic and deeply symbolic. He described the donation as a milestone that would forever be remembered in the annals of the association.
“This is not just a bus; it is a symbol of leadership, selflessness, and commitment to collective progress,” Dr. Aniebonam said. “Chief Ezisi has demonstrated that leadership is about service. He has become an instrument of support and transformation. May God continue to bless and protect him.”
Encouraging other affluent members of the association to emulate the philanthropic spirit of Chief Ezisi, Dr. Aniebonam described the NAGAFF President as “a gift to the association.”
Also speaking at the event, Chief Afam Chukwuma, the Deputy National President, Seaports, applauded the remarkable effort, describing Chief Ezisi, fondly known as Akuyienwataegwu, as a rare gem.
“What Akuyie has done today is no small feat,” Chukwuma said. “Ordinarily, such an achievement would require looking up to government agencies or sourcing funds through several channels. But he did this effortlessly. He made it look easy when it truly is not. May God continue to bless him abundantly.”
The donation of the bus was not only timely and significant due to its value but also because it marks the first time in NAGAFF’s history that the association’s headquarters is officially receiving a vehicle from either an individual or a government entity. The gesture is expected to greatly enhance the mobility and operational capacity of the association.
Members of NAGAFF who expressed their joy, including Princess Chi Eze, the Vice President Seaports Western Zone, showered praises and prayers on Chief Ezisi for his benevolence, expressing optimism that his leadership would continue to usher in greater milestones for the association.
