The President of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Mr. Emenike Nwokeoji, has paid glowing tribute to one of his predecessors and mentor, Prince Olayiwola Shittu, as the revered statesman marks his 75th birthday.

In a heartfelt message, Nwokeoji described Prince Shittu as “a stabilising force and a steward of uncommon integrity,” whose leadership transformed ANLCA during a past turbulent era.

Reflecting on his time as Vice President under Shittu’s administration, Nwokeoji credited the celebrant’s wisdom and calm disposition as the bedrock of the association’s resurgence.

“Prince Shittu was a Moses of our time during the challenging era he led,” Nwokeoji declared. “He led ANLCA out of the wilderness of internal wrangling and restored dignity, unity, and purpose to our great association. His leadership was not only visionary but deeply rooted in peace and genuine service.”

According to the ANLCA President, Shittu’s legacy is etched in the hearts of members who witnessed his unwavering commitment to the collective good.

“He is not just a man of peace—he dispenses and nurtures peace wherever he goes. His presence alone commands respect and calm,” Nwokeoji added.

As Prince Shittu celebrates this milestone, Nwokeoji extended warm wishes on behalf of the entire ANLCA family.

“We celebrate a titan, a mentor, and a friend. May God continue to strengthen you, grant you good health, and keep you vibrant and fulfilled until ripe old age. Your legacy continues to inspire us all.”

The tribute stands as a testament to the enduring impact of Prince Shittu’s leadership and the deep respect he commands within the maritime and customs brokerage community.
