Serving Northern Zone for 18 Years Stands Me Out for ANLCA BoT’ – Utai

BY EGUONO ODJEGBA

Alhaji Mohammed Sanni Utai, one of the candidates contesting membership ticket of the Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) has said that having faithfully and steadfastly served to nurture and maintain the association in the northern zone for 18 years stands him in good stead in the upcoming board of trustees’ election.

The north he says remains strategic in the overall political and economic permutation of the nation’s freight forwarding industry and by extension the association, noting that he’ll use his wealth of experience and contacts to enrich the board and ANLCA as a whole in the struggle to reposition and rebrand the association.

He said, “I have been in this industry for a period not less than 25 years, I have also been a member of ANLCA for over 23years and playing the role of an elder in the local chapters in the past 18years.

“I was the one that revived Kano chapter from its comatose state to its present active and enviable position with active elected members. In fact one core reason behind my interest to contest this board election is to make the zone become more active and involved in ANLCA’s national body and its politics because the profession is growing in the north very rapidly.

“We have a Dry Port Terminal known as the Dalla Inland Dry Port in Kano with over six different bonded terminals, two international airports, with two international border posts.”

Alhaji Utai is a a general merchandise tycoon with interest in the manufacturing and logistics value chain outside customs brokerage and freight forwarding.
