Comptroller Daniyan takes charge at PTML Terminal

COMPTROLLER-GENERAL of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has deployed Comptroller Tenny Mankini Daniyan to the Port Terminal Multiservices Limited (PTML) Command as Customs Area Controller following the recent elevation of the immediate past CAC, Saidu Abba Yusuf, to the rank of Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) of Customs

Speaking at a brief handover ceremony recently, Comptroller Daniyan promised to fully implement the provisions of the Nigeria Customs Service Act (NCSA) 2023 by ensuring maximum revenue collection and enhanced trade facilitation

Comptroller Daniyan, while addressing a gathering of officers and stakeholders, said the command will step up strategies to prevent revenue leakages in the drive to achieve government economic goal through the NCS.

The new CAC also promised to leverage the long-standing experience and robust interaction he garnered in PTML over the years where he had served as Deputy Comptroller (DC) in charge of revenue.

On trade facilitation, he urged stakeholders to be compliant by making sincere declarations and paying their duties on time to build a track record of integrity if they must enjoy the many opportunities being created by the CGC.

In line with the policy thrust of the Comptroller General of Customs, Comptroller Daniyan promised to build on the existing customs community relations through regular stakeholder engagements and promote other programmes like the Time Release Study (TRS).

He said the command will work to achieve migration of compliant stakeholders to the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status and guide them on how to benefit from the advanced ruling scheme put in place by the CGC.

ACG Yusuf thanked the CGC for the morale-boosting leadership he has been providing for the NCS and described his successor as a competent officer that will take the command higher in all areas.

He expressed optimism that all the achievements recorded under him will be surpassed under Daniyan. He also described the deployments being made by the CGC as strategic and properly thought out.

The ACG also solicited for increased cooperation of all the importers, licensed customs agents, freight forwarders and the management of Grimaldi with the new CAC.
