He told officers and men that the familiarization tour was to enable him see things for himself and make on the spot assessment and challenges.

Among the places visited include Sapid bounded terminal Mile 2, Sifax Enforcement and others.

During his tour, he emphasized commitment to work, punctuality and humaneness of officers and men, urging them to handle with dispatch their assignments to ensure the speedy clearance of goods at the port.

On revenue generation, Comptroller Edike acknowledged the pivotal role played by the Area Command, saying that the Comptroller General expected a high level of efficiency and improvement on past performances of command.
