League Postpones Business   Luncheon With MBE Minister, CEOs, Customs Boss

BY FUNMI ALUKO

The League of Maritime Editors and Publishers (LOME) have announced the postponement of its business luncheon   earlier planned to hold tomorrow, Tuesday, December 10, in Lagos.

Public Relations Officer of the League, Mr. Francis Ngwoke in a statement attributed the development to the tight schedule of the Honourable Minister and those of his CEOs.

Ngwoke said the luncheon   which  was  earlier scheduled  to hold at Rockview Hotel, Apapa, is a high powered  event organized to host the Honourable Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola CON, as well as  the  Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of the parastatals under him.

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR is also expected to grace the occassion by virtue of its link with the maritime sector, Ngwoke explained further.

The statement co-signed by President of the League, Mrs Remi Itie, explained that the postponement of the luncheon is due to a clash with other events  at FCT Abuja involving the Minister and his CEOs.

Mrs Itie who said a new date will be  announced very soon, said that the luncheon will   serve as a platform  for the  Minister and his CEOs   and the leadership of the Nigeria Customs Service to unveil  their development  agenda  for  the Marine and Blue Economy Ministry for  the coming year, 2025.

Also expected at the event titled ‘Achieving Impactful Gains on the Development Agenda for the Maritime Industry’ are select critical stakeholders.
