“We must join hands and work to grow ONDOCCIMA. But to grow, we cannot continue to dole out pieces of fish to businesses around us. We must, as frontline businessmen and women in our rights, begin to teach our people, the young and the old, how to cast their nets to get bountiful harvests on their investments,” Araoyinbo said.
He added: “I stand before you on this special day to seek your sincere support and collaboration in this onerous task of moving the association to the next level. Nobody can grow in isolation. It is the same big organisation. For us as members of ONDOCCIMA, the time has come for a purposeful-driven agenda that will ensure the success of our organisation and leave our imprints on the sands of time.”
