" While we don't want to over flogged the issues in our association being perpetrated by expelled members of the association, we want to assure Maritime stakeholders, the general public and members that the ANLCA leadership will follow the rule of law and stick to ANLCA constitution as a status symbol of all registered associations.
"ANLCA NECOM is also aware of the expelled members and their cohorts circulating letters of introduction to Stakeholders for recognition. While we are still investigating the matter, we want to state that such letters do not and cannot have the backing of the ANLCA NECOM, but we promised to bring the impersonators to book in due course," the acting president narrated.
He stated however, that in the spirit of reconciliation, NECOM is ready to discuss with all aggrieved members so that they can move the association forward, charging all to put hands on deck and jettison any selfish interest for the overall interest of members and the association.
