In the area of protecting wildlife and endangered species, 1,164kg of Sea Cucumbers and 58 kilograms of Donkey genitals were intercepted. Given the recent revenue exploits of the Command the CAC charged Officers and men to remain resolute in other to justify the confidence reposed on the Service by the federal government and also to meet the expectations of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, in the areas of maximum revenue collection, legitimate trade facilitation and suppression of smuggling.”
