Tin Can Customs Collects N117.8bn Revenue in Four Months
The Tin Can Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced a revenue generation of N117.8 billion in four months, covering January to April.
In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr Uche Ejesieme, the Controller , Mr Musa Abdullahi, was quoted as saying that this was made possible by the deployment of Time Release Study (TRS) tool in facilitating trade.
According to him, the TRS tool had to be beefed up in the Command as part of the strategic planning which determined the actual time required for the release and clearance of goods.
The TRS, he said , helped in identifying issues in the trade value chain which in turn led creating an environment efficiency in operations.
He said that the Command was able to handle effective clearing processes through sensitization among officers and clearing agents on ways to check the spread of coronavirus pandemic.
“It is on the strength of this and other parameters that the command generated a total of N117, 839, 418, 332.16 between January and April in spite of the global pandemic which has posed a great challenge.
“The figure is against the sum of N106,644,643,917.25 generated in the same period in 2019, reflecting a difference of N11,194,774,414.91.
“Even at the onset of this pandemic when pressure, anxiety and general apprehension was the order of the day, the command demonstrated resilience, sagacity and compassion in its approach to the novel pandemic.
“Such that tension was reduced from the psyche of the operatives with confidence inspired that enabled them to attend to their functions without let or hindrance.
“With this pandemic, the command will upscale her sensitisation on the need for Nigerians to fully take advantage of the operations in export trade, especially at this moment when it has become compelling for diversification of the economy for national development.
“We have developed a framework and different layers for channelling of official complaints, including the Help Desk for speedy resolution of trade disputes.
“Efforts are also being made to ensure continuous `Stakeholder Engagement’ and collaboration for the actualisation of the joint responsibilities of creating a friendly business environment that will encourage trade and investments as well as boost the morale of stakeholders.”
