Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Babatunde Olomu described 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 office as Area Controller of the nation’s premier port command a month ago , said the officers and men of the command under his watch are ready to sustain and surpass the tempo and up the ante.

Comptroller Olomu urged port users to always abide by the tenets and etiquette of lawful operations such as obeying the extant import and export guidelines, prompt and accurate payment of duty and promotion of regular engagement in the national interest.
