The Head, Customs, Shipping Companies and Terminal Operations of Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN), Dr Basil Chudi Nwolisa, has congratulated the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi MFR on his one year outstanding performance as Customs Boss.
In a letter he personally signed and made available to the media, he commended Adeniyi for rejigging Nigeria Customs for great accomplishments within one year of his administration.
In the Congratulatory message, Dr Nwolisa urged the CGC to add his voice to the perennial lack of container handling equipment in Customs ports and address the problem of growing number of cargo abandonment in the ports due to indiscriminate charges by shipping and Terminal Operators.
Dr Nwolisa commended the CGC on the measures his administration has put in place to rattle transborder smuggling and curbing the activities of illicit drug peddlers as well as proliferation of arms and other lethal weapons that are smuggled into the country.
Nwolisa also appealed to the CGC to sell overtime cargoes to importers who had paid their duties but were overwhelmed by over 350% rent increase by Shipping and Terminal Operators.
The Head, Customs, Shipping Companies and Terminal Operations of Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN), described Comptroller Adeniyi as a seasoned Administrator, great performer, and a round peg in a round hole, adding that the organization would fare much better under his administration as Customs Comptroller General.
