LAGOS – The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANCLA) says they would extend the benefits of the 100KVA transformer donated to it to its neighbor, as part of its corporate social responsibilities.
The Secretary-General of the association, Dr Emmanuel Ogu-Opara, who represented the association’s President, Alhaji Olayiwola Shittu, made the pledge at the inauguration of the transformer at ANLCA’s National Secretariat in Lagos.
“The transformer was donated to our association by the Director-General of the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Mr Joseph Odumodu, and it took the electricity distribution company some days to fix the transformer.
“This transformer will reduce the cost of powering our secretariat because we are spending a lot of money using three industrial generators,’’ Ogu-Opara said.

He said the association made the request when the director general of SON visited its secretariat recently.
“There was no time we met SON officials in the ports that we did not challenge them.
“This is just a public social responsibility by SON to us, because ANCLA members do not collect bribe.
“For me to commission the transformer today does not mean that our president has been suspended.
“I just spoke with ANCLA president yesterday and he assigned some of our members to attend a function in Abuja,’’ he said. (NAN)
