…Says TCIP Customs Command’s N1 trillion revenue worth celebrating
The Managing Director of Muna Sylver Nigeria Limited, Hon. Princess Chi Ezeh has congratulated the Area Controller, Tin Can Island Port, TCIP Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Comptroller Dera Nnadi on the significant transformation of the TCIP Administrative building and the attainment of a historic N1 trillion revenue mark at the Command.
Princess Chi noted that these accomplishments are worth celebrating and thanked the Comptroller-General of NCS, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi for rewarding Comptroller Nnadi with the Special Award for Workplace Transformation at the recent CGC Award night in Abuja.
According to the frontline freight forwarder, a trip to the TCIP Customs Command, with its state-of-the-art facilities, presently gives one the experience of visiting the headquarters of top commercial banks in Nigeria.
Her words: “In the past, we have known Comptroller Nnadi as an excellent Customs boss with high-profile seizures of drugs and narcotics, interception of arms and ammunition, and a keen eye for revenue generation. We have seen all these play out at TCIP this year (2024), however, he has also shown us a new side to his leadership with the sweeping transformation of the TCIP administrative complex which was completed in just a few months.
“While we were planning to celebrate that improvement in the workplace at TCIP, Comptroller Nnadi was still focused on the revenue collection at the Command. He encouraged stakeholders by marketing the Command to shippers through online adverts, documentaries and numerous engagements; while also reducing revenue leakages. The result is the historic N1 Trillion that the Command has collected in 2024 without adding the revenue for December. The former highest revenue mark at the Command was N639 billion in 2023 also achieved by Comptroller Nnadi.”
She appreciated the Comptroller Nnadi for not ignoring the glaring need for transformation at TCIP Customs Command over revenue generation which several Area Controllers had done since the TCIP administrative building was developed 40 years ago.
Princess Chi, who is also a Vice President of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders, NAGAFF, Western Zone, maintained that other Customs Area Controllers can learn from the dedication and leadership style of Comptroller Nnadi.
Recall that 40 years after the initial construction of the TCIP Customs administrative building, Nnadi carried out a transformational renovation and built a Quarter Guard podium and Police Gate House which was commissioned by the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Comptroller Bashir Adeniyi, recently.
Recall that the Customs CG, while presiding over the historic commissioning at the TCIP command, described the new look of the Tincan Customs Command as “an award-winning project awards” to be celebrated at the NCS 2024 end-of-year awards.
