NCS Generates N94bn in Onne Command

NCS Generates N94bn in Onne Command

The Onne Command of the Nigerian Customs Service under the leadership of Controller Aliyu Galadima Saidu, has generated N94bn in 2018 which is about 80% of allotted Annual Target of ₦117.8 Billion.

A comparative review of the preceding year shows that the Command realized ₦373mn more than it did in 2017 bringing it to about 0.35% increase in the Revenue Collection.

Specifically, when relating the revenue collected and seizures to the operational strategies used, the Command focused mainly on intelligence base risk profiling of the system with 100% physical examination of cargo at the various Terminals and Sheds; meetings and sensitizing the stakeholders on the need and benefits of compliance; application of due diligence and professionalism in documentation and examination of cargoes; and importantly, building synergy with other relevant government agencies such as NAFDAC, SON, Port Health, NDLEA and other sister security agencies especially Navy, Police and Immigration for information which has proven to be useful at crucial moments.

It was on the basis of the foregoing that the Command recorded 61 remarkable seizures of various items such as 9 x 40 ft containers of Tramadol, Hyergra, Diclofenac and Analgesic Tablets of different types; 64 of 20 containers of foreign parboiled rice and other items such as military uniforms, boots and caps with a total Duty Paid Value (DPV) of ₦1.6bn. A comparative review of the seizure profile of 2017 revealed that the year 2018 surpassed with 37 seizures and DPV of ₦1,147,142,275 bringing to about 60.7% increase in seizures and 70.9% increase in DPV as regards to general enforcement.

More so, we seized one hundred and twenty-six (126) containers which is 81% increase of the twenty-four (24) containers confiscated in the preceding year 2017.

All these seizures followed various infractions such as false declaration, concealment, wrong classification, import without end user certificate and complete disregards of import and export guidelines with intent to smuggle in illicit goods.

It should be well noted that smuggling pose a high threat to both the national economy and security and that is why those who engage in it are considered as economic saboteurs. They are the destroyers of the country’s economy, because they want to evade payment of import duty and import items that are security threat to the nation.

Nevertheless, it is worrisome and very unfortunate that despite the wide awareness on the dire consequences of smuggling activities on economic growth and development, some citizens still find joy in perpetuating this evil act only for their personal gains.

The Command has worked in synergy with other Customs Units such as the Customs Intelligence Unit (CIU), Valuation, CG’s Strike Force and Post Clearance Audit (PCA) to achieve maximum compliance to the extant laws on import and export for increased revenue generation; and anti-smuggling feat.

Again, the Command recorded a high level of compliance on export declarations. A total of 136,973,413.92 metric tonnes of exported goods with a total Free On Board (FOB) value of $1,126,516,635.9 which is equivalent to ₦409,083,251,160.73 (@ #363.14 per dollar) was realized.

The Command has started the year 2019 on a promising note. It is heart-warming to note that during the first quarter, the Command has been able to generate the sum of ₦25,561,932,417.78 when compare to ₦18,857,668,490.00 generated in the first quarter of 2018, accrued to 26.2 percent increase. We recorded seizures of nine (9) containers comprising 57,300 pieces of machetes without end-user certificates; 2,000 Jerry Cans of 25 litres of vegetable oil; 6,456 cartons of foreign soap; 535 bales and 142 cartons of wears; and 69 bags of foreign rice with a total Duty Paid Value (DPV) of ₦106,889,670.00

The overall achievement is sequel to the support of the Comptroller-General of Customs and his Management Team with the full deployment of NICIS II application in the Command which necessitated training of five hundred and twenty (520) Officers/Men, and the resultant effect has yielded an intrinsic advantage in terms of revenue, control of infractions in the system and increased compliance level as a result of the additional functionalities. Furthermore, the Command has started in-house training of its Officers and Men on trade facilitation and with emphasis on oil and gas equipment.

The Command will not rest on its oars and will strive to justify the confidence reposed in us by the nation to make sure that this year achievement surpasses the former.

Gentlemen of the Press, we use this forum to reassure you of the Command resolution to achieve speedy clearance of cargo from the ports, and also reduce the cost of doing business in the Maritime Industry owing to the Presidential directives on Ease of Doing Business. And we also affirm on the zero tolerance of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd.) for smuggling which remains unalterable as the Service will do everything within its capacity to fight it to standstill.

In this respect, we beseech the stakeholders to continue to live upright in their declarations with due diligence and professionalism in proper documentation to avoid the negative consequences of contravening the law.
