She reaffirmed the women’s unwavering support for Chief Ezisi’s administration and encouraged him to sustain his commitment to advancing NAGAFF’s mission and strengthening the freight forwarding sector.
Mrs. Ebubedike also extended heartfelt appreciation to NAGAFF Founder, Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, whom she described as “a father with a big heart” and “a destiny helper” whose vision and generosity continue to shape the success stories of members across the association.
“I call him my panadol in time of pain. Except he does not pick the call at that moment that is when you have issues. But ones you get him, your problem goes away,” she said.
In his response, Chief Ezisi expressed profound gratitude to the women for their show of love and solidarity, noting that their encouragement reinforces his dedication to serve the association with even greater passion and focus.
“Your gesture today strengthens my resolve to work harder for NAGAFF and for every member who believes in our shared vision,”
