ANLCA Abuja chapter backs Abdulmajid for chairmanship

The Abuja Chapter of the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), has declared its strong support for Chief Solademi Abdulmajid’s bid for the chapter’s chairmanship.

The chapter reaffirmed its commitment to a rotational leadership system, emphasizing the importance of honoring a gentleman’s agreement to shift the chairmanship to the Southwest.

Speaking at the official flag-off of Abdulmajid’s campaign, the ANLCA’s founding father, Prince Badmos Ayo, expressed confidence in Abdulmajid’s leadership potential, predicting a positive transformation under his administration.

Ayo said: “If the foundation is not good, it is rotting, then the best thing is to demolish the foundation and build another one. We, as agents, are the movers and shakers of revenue generation in this country through customs activities.”

Stakeholders at the event praised Abdulmajid’s integrity, leadership qualities, and dedication to ANLCA’s progress. Many described him as a unifying figure capable of promoting equity, fairness, and justice within the association.

Abdulmajid outlined his vision for ANLCA, promising to lead with integrity, inclusiveness, and innovation.

He pledged to prioritize transparency, accountability, and the welfare of members.
He said: “I offer myself to serve as your chairman and promise to lead ANLCA into a future driven by commitment, unity, and a shared purpose. My administration will be based on integrity, resilience, and inclusive governance.”

He called on members to join hands with him to transform ANLCA and achieve excellence.

He expressed profound gratitude to Almighty Allah and to everyone present to witness the rise of renewed hope in ANLCA and the flag-off campaign of his candidacy as the next elected chairman of ANLCA Abuja Airport chapter.

He assured stakeholders of his commitment to advancing the chapter’s goals and welfare while maintaining a foundation of equity and justice.

He promised to run an open administration based on a foundation of integrity, resilience, inclusive governance, and an unwavering passion and support for membership growth through innovation and embracing emerging technologies as an enabler to strengthen practitioners at the Chapter for the benefit of all.

On his part, the immediate past chairman, Abdulrahir Abdulsalam, described Abdulmajid as a man of integrity, a person you can trust.

He said: “This election is all about being fair, equitable, and just to all sections of the country. He has been our member over the years. The young man in question, Sholademi Abdulmajid, is from the southwest. That is why the majority of stakeholders, 90% of them, endorse him as their preferred candidate for this election.

“So, that is why I throw my weight behind him. He’s a personal friend. We have had a relationship over the years. So, he has the ability and capacity to deliver as chairman of ANLCA Abuja Airport. So, all that is required of a chairman, he already has it.”

Addressing concerns about regional representation, Abdulsalam reaffirmed the importance of respecting the existing agreement, adding that it ensures fairness and balance in leadership.
