TweetThe Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Ms Hadiza Bala-Usman, has assured the youths of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) of her support toward developing capacities to grow the nation’s maritime industry.
Bala-Usman gave the assurance in a statement signed by the Assistant General Manager, Corporate Communications and Strategy of NPA, Malam Ibrahim Nasiru, yesterday.
She spoke after the inauguration of the NPA’s Chapter of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport CILT codenamed: NPA/CILT NEXT GENERATION CHAPTER held during the weekend in Lagos.
According to her, youths of the organisation can come together to explore opportunities in CILT for development of not only their individual careers, but also the progress of the nation’s maritime sector.
She observed that such efforts by the youth would give people like her the confidence that the future would be better.
Bala-Usman urged young people who were diligent at work and committed to continuous searching for knowledge and professional development, adding that the sky could only be the limit for the industry.
”The inauguration of the youth association will give the antecedents and personal experiences where youths have been found to be unable to accept responsibilities and take advantage of opportunities at their disposal for their future growth and advancement.
”In my experience, I have come to realise that one of the greatest pitfalls of youth is the inability to quickly come to terms with the responsibility that the future places on them.
”When youths do not understand the roles that they have in the future of a society, they are unable to explore the opportunities that the present offers them and build the necessary capacity for the future.
”On a lot of occasions, when opportunity falls on the laps of young people, they are not sufficiently prepared to make the best of those opportunities to the benefit of the society.
”This is why I am happy about NPA/CILT Next Generation Chapter,’’ she added.
Bala-Usman said: “It is heartwarming that you have not just come together in unity as one would expect of every staffer of any organisation that aspires for progress, but you should also make it a point of duty to develop yourselves and build the capacity of your members through your regular Zoom webinar series.
”I encourage you not to relent in these efforts. Regardless of the challenges that you face, be rest assured that you will reap the reward of every investment that you put into the initiatives in the future to the benefits of yourself, the maritime industry and Nigeria, at large,” she said.

The TideFollowing the spate of sea attacks along Bonny waterways, the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Rivers State chapter, is calling on the Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) to tackle insecurity at the waterways.
The state Chairman of MWUN, Comrade John Jonah, made the call during a telephone interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt at the weekend.
He noted that pirate attacks had negatively affected the socio-economic activities in the Island, thereby creating poverty and hardship.
Jonah, who appealed to NIMASA and the Navy to provide security along the waterways to secure lives and property, also called for permanent solution to the menace.
He said that pirates had been terrorising passengers and boat drivers along the creeks and waterways of the state, thereby making socio-economic activities in the riverine communities unviable.
“Pirates keep on collecting our boats, cart away passengers’ valuables and sometimes killed water users.
“We have lost millions of naira and valuables to sea pirates in our riverine communities”, he said.
He advised boat drivers against night travelling, urging them to obey all maritime rules and regulations.
It would be recalled that the Bonny community recently staged a peaceful #EndSeapirates protest in the Island and Port Harcourt against the killings and abduction of their husbands and wives.

The TideFollowing difficulties experienced in boarding modern ferry to Bonny Kingdom, the community has floated a modern ferry service to convey travellers to and from Island.
The ferry service named Asimini Line, according to the community, was aimed at providing alternative service to marine transport for Bonny indigenes, investors and tourists, among others.
Chief Executive Officer, Kristina Report, Godswill Jumbo, who is also the spokesman of Asimini Line, disclosed this during a telephone interview with The Tide, in Port Harcourt.
He listed stakeholders in the ferry service to include the Amanyanabo and Natural Ruler of Bonny Kingdom, His Majesty, King Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple, Perekule XI; Bonny Chambers of Commerces, Mine and Agriculture (BOCCIMA) and the Chairman of Bonny Local Government Area.
He explained that lack of effective and efficient transportation services in the Kingdom led to the floating of the ferry service.
Jumbo insisted that the Asimini Line would be a reliable and secure service provider, as well as an alternative to other marine services.
Jumbo said the 12-seater ferry service would be officially launched this month and would be secured by armed security men.
According to him, Asimini Line is currently ferrying passengers free from Bonny to Port Harcourt until its official launch.
On piracy, he said the coming of Asimini Line would reduce incident of sea robbers and bring sanity to the marine transport sector in the state.

BACOLOD CITY – A suspected Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) rebel left her two-month-old son in the house of a villager in Talisay City, Negros Occidental to evade soldiers patrolling the area early morning on Wednesday.
Troops of the 79th Infantry Battalion (IB) arrived after learning about the presence of communist-terrorists in Hacienda Ambulog, Barangay San Fernando, prompting the woman, identified as “Ka Jandy”, and her comrade, “Ka Moneth” to flee.
“We are saddened that the two-month-old baby was abandoned by her mother because of a senseless cause. ‘Ka Jandy’ had a choice, but she chose to leave her child and go against the government,” Lt. Col. Gerard Alvaran, commanding officer of 79IB, said in a statement.
The infant was turned over by the Philippine Army and the Talisay City Police Station to the care of the City Social Welfare and Development Office.
Around 2:20 a.m., the troops came to the house of Marilyn Dianton and found the baby. Dianton told them that he is the son of “Ka Jandy”.
They recovered subversive documents with high intelligence value, medical supplies, including a pack of birth control pills, infant’s clothes, feeding bottles, disposable diapers, and other baby stuff, as well as food items such as rice, canned goods, and instant noodles.

The troops also seized three mobile phones, seven phone batteries, two cellular phone chargers, a power bank, and a gas stove with five butane fuel canisters.
Alvaran thanked the residents who provided the information about the presence of the communist-terrorists.

“Your continuous support by way of relaying information (to us) contributes a lot in our fight against insurgency,” he added.
Alvaran also urged “Ka Jandy” and her comrades to “lay down their arms and abandon the pointless armed struggle.”
“The government is willing to help them start anew,” he said.
The CPP-NPA is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines. (PNA)
