Although the customs headquarter in Abuja is yet to give targets to all its Command across the country.

The Public Relations Officer of the Command Mr. Uche Ejesieme disclosed this while describing the Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Musa Baba Abdullahi as a proactive officer who has envisaged the expectations and started sensitizing the stakeholders on how to realise the target.

According to him, Comptroller Musa in the last couple of weeks had held meetings with different groups and stakeholders in the port and sought their corporation for the year 2020, while appreciating their supports to the command in 2019.

“We had a target of N342 billion in 2019 and we were able to make N346billion with an excess of N4billion.

“It is actually not going to be easy, but the Controller has put some strategies in place,” Mr Ejesieme said.
