I was delighted to welcome Dr Eugene Nweke to the EVA Show. He is the former President of the National Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF). Before this, he held several positions in different capacities ranging from Secretary to Chapter Chairman.   

 Dr Eugene is presently the Vice Chairman Customs Consultation Committee, an elected Head of the Research and Development Maritime Advocacy and Action Group (MAAG), and the Board of Trustees Chairman of the Maritime Authors and Researchers Association of Nigeria.   He is a Consultant to many Trade Unions in the Maritime Industry in Nigeria.  

He wears too many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below:

We critically evaluated the following questions: 

 1) As a consultant to some of the Trade Unions in the Maritime Industry, how effective is Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Settling Conflicts or Disputes between Trade unions in the Maritime Industry?  

2) What are the types of Trade Unions in the Maritime Industry? 

 3) Would you advise  Maritime Trade Unions or disputants to settle via ADR or approach the Court? 

 4) Are there benefits to the side of both coins?   

5) Do Maritime Disputes or Conflicts go to the National Industrial Court (NIC) ADR?
