Mohammed noted that revenue collection in the command had been on the increase since he assumed duty in 2020, and made a comparison with the two previous years of 2020 and 2021.

According to him, the command collected N119 billion in 2020 and N188.7 billion in 2021 under his watch.

“I attribute the collection of N242 billion as total revenue for 2022 to regular stakeholders engagement, increased compliance level of the port users and non compromise on the part of his officers

“The command engaged its stakeholders regularly on the need to abide by extant laws guiding import and export.

“Periodic meetings with importers , exporters, terminal operators, licensed customs agents and freight forwarders afforded his command the opportunity of regularly enlightening them on the import and export prohibitions,” he said.

He pointed out that things like unprocessed wood and charcoal which fall under export prohibition had been regularly brought to the knowledge of all concerned with emphasis that ignorance of the law would not serve as excuse for violation.

While lauding the stakeholders for their commendable compliance level, Mohammed urged them to sustain and improve on it.

He said alerts being received regularly were meant to put customs officers in check and not necessarily targeted at the agents.

On anti smuggling, he said that the command made seizures in the fight against smuggling in 2022, a feat which was achieved through meticulous hundred percent physical examination of cargoes.

“Antics by smugglers to conceal prohibited items by hiding them at the end of containers with the hope that customs officers won’t get to the end during examination failed as all such concealments were uncovered and seized

“The seizures made comprise of machetes brought into the country without an end-user certificate, military wears, vegetable oil, whisky, soap, and used clothings.

Other seizures included used tyres, foreign parboiled rice, tomato paste, used vehicle parts, and other items either classified as prohibited or for which duty payments were being evaded,” he said.

The Controller said the command recorded a remarkable increase in export worth N2.713 billion collected under the Nigeria Export Supervision Scheme (NESS).

He said that the 2022 figure was over 300 per cent higher than the 2021 figure of N881.01 million.

“The NESS Fee is a statutory payment to the Federal Government on all legitimate goods exported from Nigeria,” he said.

Mohammed said the export items were majorly agricultural produce such as sesame seeds, ginger, hibiscus flower(zobo), palm produce.

“The command’s export profile is being supported by the Domestic Export Warehouse (DEW) terminal initiative put in place by the federal government to ease the processing of export cargoes on transit to shipment stage.

“For trade facilitation and ease of cargo examination, the command received a mobile scanner that is being fully installed and will be connected to the Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System (NICIS II) for synchronizing,” he said.

Mohammed said when the scanner begins operation after configuration, the examination capacity of the command would increase to between 300 and 350 containers daily from it’s present figure that ranges between 200 and 300.
