Comptroller Oshoba Records ₦20.1b In One Day
••• He urges officers and men of the command to increase their tempo of productivity. As outstanding results are the real proof of hard work, dedication and uncompromising disposition to duty.
Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba has demonstrated much resilience and has successfully generated the sum of N20, 156, 077, 098.56 in one day barely 24 hours after he assumed leadership of Apapa Port Command, in line with his vow to build on the success of his predecessor.
The report said, this latest impressive performance in revenue generation now stands as the highest daily revenue collection of any command in Nigeria Customs Service, using the Unified Customs Management System, also known as B’Odogwu.
Besides, this remarkable record has not only broken the existing ₦18b achieved by the command, but has also confirmed the new CAC’s resolve to meet and surpass the revenue target set for the command as stated in his maiden address on Monday.
Aside from this, shortly after taking over office, Comptroller Oshoba
met with senior officers of the command, where he commended them for the great feats achieved in the past, with a directive, urging them to increase their tempo of productivity.
He reminded officers and men of the command that outstanding results are the real proof of hard work, dedication and uncompromising disposition to duty.
He believes that officers could do better than they did before his arrival.
Commenting on the recent ₦20.1b collection in a day, Comptroller Oshoba said it is only the beginning of greater exploits and it is not time for celebration, simply because he foresees greater achievements for the flagship command of the Service under his leadership.
He described B’Odogwu as a necessity in the build-up to a more modern and efficient customs administration in Nigeria with potential to strengthen the country’s position as Africa’s largest economy noted for trade facilitation.
He commended his team and stakeholders for this great milestone of ₦20.1b collection in one day, just 24 hours after he resumed office in Apapa Command. He further stated that it is not the time to clap yet, simply because clapping means removing the two hands from work to celebrate.
Comptroller Oshoba is quoted as stating that: “Let’s leave the celebration and applause for days ahead when we shall have future achievements of surpassing revenue targets, curbing any attempted smuggling or concealment and treating trade with productive speed without compromising our integrity. I believe in action, which speaks louder than words”.
His words at the end: “We are all part of history as our collective efforts are resonating positively on the Nigerian economy. I urge my officers to keep the great work going and for the stakeholders, they should stay on the path of compliance”.
