In a historic moment for Nigeria\u2019s maritime legal community, Chief Mrs Jean Chiazor Anishere emerged as President of the Maritime Arbitrators Association of Nigeria (MAAN) during its 19th Annual General Meeting, held on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at DRV Chambers, Oniru Estate, Lagos.<\/p>\n
Anishere, who currently serves as Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Consultative Council (NPCC) and is the immediate past Vice President of MAAN, was elected to lead the association as it marks its 20th year of existence.<\/p>\n
In her acceptance speech, Anishere expressed deep gratitude and humility: <\/p>\n
\u201cToday makes it exactly 20 years since this association was founded. I feel highly honored to be elected as President of MAAN.\u201d<\/p>\n
She called on her predecessor, Mr. Bodunrin Adewole, and other past presidents to continue offering their guidance and support:
\n \u201cI humbly ask that you do not leave me alone in this journey. Let us do this presidency together so we can all achieve success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the milestone, she added with a touch of humour, \u201cIt means I\u2019m getting older\u2014even though I don\u2019t have grey hairs yet!\u201d<\/p>\n
Anishere also moved for the adoption of the previous meeting\u2019s minutes, noting the absence of objections and emphasizing continuity and unity within the association.<\/p>\n
