By Trek Africa Newspaper
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Tin Can Island Command has generated the sum of One Trillion, Forty Six Billion, Four Hundred and Ninety Six Million, Five Hundred and Ninety Three Thousand, One Hundred and Three Naira Sixty Kobo (1,046,496,593,103.60), being the first time such milestone will be recorded in the history of the Command.
Comptroller Dera Nnadi, Customs Area Controller of the Command, who made this known on Thursday, November 7, 2024 in Lagos said “We were able to achieve this milestone because our stakeholders share our vision of voluntary compliance and are supporting our reforms in the Command. I dedicate this achievement to the Comptroller General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi and his management team.
According to him, “The Command acknowledges the specific roles of the DCG Tariff and Trade and the DCG ICT/Modernization for their contributions too. Aware that a secured border will translate to more revenue at the seaports, we also appreciate the support of the DCG Enforcement, Investigation & Inspection in enforcing compliance among our stakeholders leading to the increased revenue in the Command. While we celebrate our esteemed stakeholders who embraced our reforms and complied with Customs extant laws and guidelines, those who did not are regretting their loss and the pain of non compliance.
