total of 184 graduates of the Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders (GIFF) have been awarded diplomas and certificates after successfully completing their various areas of study at the seventh

freight forwarding principles applicable in all modes of carriage including maritime transport, customs procedure as well as logistics and warehousing etc.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the graduation

industry.<\/p>\n<p>He urged them to generate new ideas that will help deal with the contemporary challenges of the profession using modern approaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery generation has a unique historical moment to make a significant contribution to the human civilization and survival of mankind and this is the time for the millennial generation. <\/p>\n<p>We are looking forward to transforming leaders who would shape the development trajectory of this nation, for continuous innovation and leaders who can be role models for the future generations,\u201d the President of GIFF

continues to maintain its leadership position in the delivery of quality and high performance capacity building and professional training, a feat that has sustained its position as a member of FIATA

partners to build networks and synergies that would enable us diversify capacities in order to secure our future,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n<p>The representative of the Commissioner of the Customs
