The Oodua Descendant Freight Forwarders Association (ODFFA) will on Thursday, May 27, 2021, celebrate its Fifth Anniversary of Oodua Freight Forwarders Day at Welcome Event Centre, Airport Road, Oshodi, Lagos.

The Founder of the association Prince Segun Adefioye disclosed at a press conference to announce the event in Lagos yesterday.

Registrar of NAGAFF Academy, Fwrd Francis Omotosho, is billed to be the Guest Speaker, while Chairmen of the day are; former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore and CEO SIFAX Group, Chief Taiwo Afolabi. The Distinguished Guest of Honour is the Speaker, Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.

Speaking, Adefioye noted that the Oodua Descendant Freight Forwarders Association (ODFFA) is a socio-cultural platform founded five years ago to promote the interest and growth of all Yoruba sons and daughters who practice freight forwarding in the maritime and aviation industry globally. It is also founded to celebrate and reward professional excellence. And since our inception, ODFFA has organized conferences and workshops/seminars to educate and sensitize members and even non-members on their rights and privileges and modern freight forwarding practice.

He noted that the Oodua Freight Forwarders Day is an annual event and this is the fifth edition by ODFFA to celebrate and reward professional excellence among Yoruba freight forwarders. And to reward non-professionals who have contributed to the growth of the profession and Yoruba development globally. We want to inform you that no fewer than three non-Yoruba freight forwarders have been given awards.

According to him, “apart from rewarding, the Day provides an opportunity for us as an association to appraise our growth as Yoruba in the freight forwarding profession in Nigeria and look for a way to improve. The event is a cultural celebration as a lot of personalities have been shortlisted to receive awards.”
