Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has commissioned the reconstructed Customs administrative building at Tin-Can Port in Lagos.
The building, which has not been renovated for over 40 years, now wears a new look after undergoing infrastructure modernisation under the supervision of the Customs Area Controller of Tin-Can Island Port, Compt Dera Nnadi.
Speaking at the commissioning, Adeniyi commended the renovation of the building and other controllers involved in such a project.
“We dedicate this to the glory of God and for the provision of better and more optimal service to the federal government of Nigeria.
I commend the Area Controller and his men for getting this done. I never knew that it was such a gigantic project.
“From what I have seen, this is an award-winning project. The award for the Nigeria Customs Service in 2024, which was supposed to have occurred two weeks ago, will now occur in two days. As Comptroller-General of Customs, I assure you that we will not forget this project,” he said.
Adeniyi, however, disclosed that the government is working on a national single-window project to integrate all stakeholders into an automated platform that will allow regulatory oversight and improve operational efficiency.
He underscored the need for more collaborations between Customs and other agencies of government, freight forwarders, terminal operators, shipping companies, and others.
