Customs Affirms Determination To Meet FG’s Revenue Target
The Nigeria Customs
Service (NCS) has affirmed that it is very much determined to meet the revenue target given to it by the Federal Government.
To that end, it said that all efforts were being put together, including the mobilisation of officers of the formation to actualise the goal.
The Assistant Comptroller-General (ACG) of Customs, Zone “C” in Port Harcourt, Ahmed Mohammed, who disclosed this during the decoration of newly promoted officers of the command in Port Harcourt, said that the step was taken also to boost the morale of officers in the zone.
He said that when officers and men of the service are encouraged in that direction, such will boost their morale and the end result will be increase in productivity.
“As an agency of government charged with the responsibility of revenue generation, we must ensure that no stone is left unturned in actualizing such mandate”, he said.
The Zone ‘C’ customs boss also pointed out that the service over the years has been performing and is known for such revenue particularly in the area of non-oil revenue generation.
He, however, admitted that there are numerous challenges that officers face in the discharge of their duties, pointing out that such challenges could not be dismissed with a wave-of-hand and as such formed the basis for the efforts being made to boost officers morale for greater productivity.
