Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Babatunde Olomu disclosed this in a press statement made available by the Command’s Spokesman, CSC Abubakar Usman, describing the feat as the beginning of many revenue collection, trade facilitation, and anti smuggling exploits to be achieved by the command in discharging its assigned statutory duties.
Olomu, who assumed duty as Area Controller of the nation’s premier port command in May 2024, noted that the officers and men of the command under his watch are ready to sustain and surpass the tempo and up the ante.
