Abuja, Nigeria —

The Apapa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has achieved a record-breaking revenue collection of approximately ₦2.1 trillion for the year 2024, marking a significant milestone in trade facilitation and national economic contributions.

This achievement was celebrated in Abuja, where Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC) Wale Adeniyi commended the reforms spearheaded by Dr. Babatunde Olomu, the Customs Area Controller of the Apapa Port Command.

Tackling Revenue Leakages

Under Olomu’s leadership, the Apapa Command established a Revenue Recovery Committee to tackle leakages, particularly at bonded terminals. This initiative, coupled with the creation of a dedicated team to resolve complaints and disputes, was instrumental in achieving the unprecedented revenue milestone.

Speaking at the recognition ceremony, CGC Adeniyi highlighted the importance of the Apapa Command’s efforts in promoting efficiency and ability.

“It is about exceeding expectations, showing dedication to the country, and demonstrating exceptional commitment to our nation’s interests. Tonight, we gather to celebrate officers and stakeholders who have exemplified these qualities and more,” Adeniyi stated.

He added that the Customs Service’s focus on positive reinforcement is fostering a motivated and high-performing workforce, positioning the organization for sustained success.

Recognition and Encouragement

In acknowledgment of his leadership and impact, Dr. Olomu was honored for his contributions to trade facilitation, revenue generation, and overall operational excellence.

Reacting to the accolade, Olomu urged Nigerian entrepreneurs to leverage the ease-of-doing-business initiatives at Apapa Port, emphasizing the streamlined processes introduced under the CGC’s modernization regime.

“We invite more businesses to leverage the facilities and initiatives at Apapa Port. Our commitment remains unwavering in ensuring efficient trade facilitation and contributing significantly to the nation's economic growth,” Olomu said.

A Strategic Focus on Growth

The Apapa Command’s performance underscores the Nigeria Customs Service's strategic focus on innovation and ability. By addressing systemic issues and simplifying trade procedures, the Apapa Port has become a hub for efficient and transparent operations, setting a benchmark for other ports across the country.

The recognition of the Apapa Command not only highlights its achievements but also reinforces the Customs Service's commitment to ing Nigeria’s economic transformation.

Tinubunomics = Tax, Borrow and Spend !!!

For those bulaabaa followers who always want to know what the east contributes, this is one out of many. Almost 70% of containers that are imported into this country, go to the east. The remaining 30% to 40% go to Lagos and the rest of the country. If you take into consideration the stranglehold the easterners have on trade in this country, especially in Lagos, Abuja and Kano, it means that close to 80 to 90% of containers that land in different ports in Nigeria, were ordered by our ebullient brothers from the land of the rising sun.

Obviously what that means is that almost all the trillions generated through import tariffs at the sea ports across the country, come from these Nnamdi kanu brothers. These are the trillions shared every months end, since almost all petrodollars earned from crude exports, go into debts servicing. Again , most of those crude exports come from the former Eastern Nigeria!

The igbos need to be respected in this country. I wanted to say "should be worshipped". While these hardworking set of people are busy generating trillions for tinubus istrative owanbe, the agbadorians in power are busy putting all sorts of impediments on their business path. That Nigerian/West African ports are active, boils down to the doggedness of these people

Help me ask him. A region where people are slaves to ekpa. Where governors move to Lagos to celebrate their children's wedding ceremony.

A region where people cannot go outside to look for food to eat because of sit at home from Kanu and ekpa.

65% of containers from abroad end up in Southeast — NIWA


The National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA, on Thursday, said over 65 per cent of cargo coming into Nigeria through the Lagos port ends up in Onitsha and Aba in the Southeast.

Managing Director of NIWA, Dr George Moghalu, disclosed this when he featured at the 52nd Session of the State House Briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team, at the State House, Abuja.

He also said that everything is in place for the movement of Cargo in Onitsha River Port even though he explained that it is the owner of the cargo that will determine the movement.

Moghalu, who was providing updates on the agency’s activities, however noted that the current road network infrastructure cannot withstand the sheer volume of traffic required to move cargo from the southeast to other parts of the country.

This, he said, necessitated recent efforts by NIWA to provide water inroads to the northern part of the country.



https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/09/65-of-containers-from-abroad-end-up-in-southeast-niwa/amp/


I'm sure that if an authentic independent analysis is conducted on oil output per communities, it will look somehow like this... If not that Dr Moghalu headed that agency and laid the facts bare, people like you will be here talking nonsense as usual.

Go to Onitsha and see Cameroonians making big buys on daily basis. If you know anyone that owns a hotel in Onitsha, enquire from him about the influx of the Cameroonians and Co ro Onitsha and Aba ro buy goods.

You live in ogbomosho brimming with hate. Everyday you are busy churning out hate about how Simon Ekpa has locked down the east. So much so you have become a victim of your own propoganda, while others from far away land are enjoying the productive east..

The day the true data about the amount of oil produced around igbo communities mainland are released by an independent body, that's the day some of you will close your mouths for ever. No doubt whatsoever about who the parasites are. The former Eastern Nigeria feeds this country. Your ports will be as busy as that of Eritrea if not for these people. They bring in trillions every years. Respect them. Respect hardwork!

Just Imo, Abia and Anambra for the highest gas deposits discovered in sub saharan Africa. Don't take my words for it. Run your checks. The other day, you saw gas explosions all over Enugu, just because families and businesses were drilling for water. The same Enugu is the place you will find it hard to dig your foundations for a new building because of the enormous coal reserves! We are talking of massive serious minerals resources in abundance at an industrial scale. And some of you here who get fed from the hydrocarbon exploited from these states, were directed by you handlers few days ago to push that laughable narrative that south-east states get 10000000% of allocations more than they generate? Let them go then! Or is that the reason why you don't want to let them go?

From Delta state to Rivers state, a whole of the oil exploration happening mainland are in igbo communities. Go to Rivers state and do your checks. Wike and co will get these allocations, squander them and still go ahead to attack these communities. Most of these communities were yanked from the SE states by Obansanjo in the 70s, using his Mamman Nasir boundary adjustments Committee. The SE feeds you with oil earnings. They are about to feed you with gas earnings too. That is after feeding your lazy behind to stupor with tariffs from your ports... Ports you own but don't know what to do with them. Intead of always distracting them, You guys should be doing "dobale" for those igbos every morning .

Land grabbers should stay off South South

Okpor. That's huge. It's one of why cars and other imported stuffs are overly expensive. Local car assembly plants like Innoson and Nord has the FG to thank for defending them.
Just that I wish that they invest the profit in other things.

You’re a liar..

It’s not 70%. It’s actually 99%..

Waoh Massive!

With the high level of runz in customs, they still got award 🥇.

PulaPower:

You’re a liar..

It’s not 70%. It’s actually 99%..

Oga, use your Google.
You might be stunned with the result. Just search the percentage of containers imported into Nigeria that ended up in the SE.

Maybe because igbos don't run their mouth on this, you think it is a lie. Most of the money being shared every month by the federal government comes from these.

We have not even gone into the enormous kill that the government makes through charges on dollar remittances from abroad. And someone had the audacity to frame igbos as "parasites" in this country.

That una Times and their lies.

will this stop Tinubu from borrowing?

They're deceiving themselves.

With the criminal devaluation of the Naira and galloping inflation since this bulaba retarrd forced himself into power last year, N2. 1 trillion is certainly less than N200b of a few years ago.

So let them re-denominate the revenues in USD and benchmark it against prior performances over the last 20 years, to be sure if they actually broke any useless 'record' or not.

Anyway, Agriculture is life

That's nice...but let's be honest, we need a budget of something like 200 trillion naira or more before we can say, yes, we are comfortable.

But both sides want to chop money

Make I laff.

Does it stop the rogue custom officers from harassing and extorting container laden trailers on their illegally mounted check points on the road after they have done clearance from the ports??

You run your mouth about your Lagos everyday here, but when you're hit with the the facts about those who run your Lagos, you start to throw tantrums. Highest earning venture in lagos is the ports, and by far the biggest actors there are from the SE! You have to find a way to deal with this without developing hypertension.

With close to 70% of them containers coming into Lagos ports, going to the south-east and elsewhere, it obviously means that if you open up Warri or Calabar ports, lagos will be in big trouble. This is why I get irritated with my South south folks. They're are out of sort in strategic thinking.

You guys from the south west should be the one begging but you're the ones insulting others.

This Pandora people still wonder why the country takes them as jokes??
