The National Compliance Joint Taskforce of Licensed Clearing Agents (NCJTFLCA) has called for partnership with the Congress of Nigerian Maritime Media Practitioners (CONMMEP) to help in its fight against corruption which has eaten deep into the Nigeria maritime sector.

This called was made by the President of NCJTFLCA, High Chief Dr. Basil Chudi Nwolisa, when he featured at the maiden edition of the CONMMEP's Round Table held in Lagos on Wednesday, 28th May 2025, where he emphasized on the urgent need for industry reform.

Dr. Nwolisa, in his keynote address, painted a stark picture of the current state of the maritime sector, likening it to a "crime scene" plagued by corruption and inefficiency. He highlighted the detrimental effects of corrupt practices on freight forwarding and logistics value chain, asserting that these issues, not only inflate costs but also jeopardize the future of the nation. "Corruption increases the prices of goods and services, and if we do not address it, we risk leaving a legacy of despair for future generations, that is why we need CONMMEP to join hands with us to fight these manace called corruption". he warned.

During the event, Comrade. Udo Onyeka, the President of CONMMEP, aligned with the advocacy group, vowing to collaborate with patriotic stakeholders to foster transparency and integrity. "We must be committed to fighting corruption within our ranks," he proclaimed, underscoring the collective responsibility to change the narrative in the maritime sector.

Dr. Nwolisa's poignant remarks highlighted the urgent need for systemic change, warning that without genuine action, future generations may suffer the consequences of unchecked corruption. "We must not allow our nation, rich in resources and talents, to be defined by corruption," he concluded.

As the congress progresses, the call to action is clear: stakeholders must unite to eradicate corruption and promote a thriving, ethical maritime industry in Nigeria.

The gathering ended with a renewed commitment from both parties to work collaboratively towards a corruption-free maritime sector. As stakeholders left the event, there was a palpable sense of hope that, through unity and determination, the maritime industry could reclaim its integrity and make greater contributions to Nigeria's economy.
