The Nigeria Customs Service, Tin-can Island Port Command, has organised a lecture on the current trends in cargo management at the port.
The lecture, organised for releasing, staff and examination officers and stakeholders held at the Command on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Dera Nnadi, noted that the lecture, is in compliance with the directives of the headquarters.
According to him, cargo examination is the bedrock of customs operations at the port. “The idea is to compare the physical content of the container with documentary submission by the declarant or the importer”.

He emphasised, “We are making our own contribution as a country through the NCS to also develop our environment.”
Participants at the lecture commended the Nigeria Customs Service’s efforts to improve its performance and that of stakeholders.
Assistant Comptroller of Customs, AC Ugochukwu Nwaogugwu, said the lecture “will go a long way to impact positively on our jobs, and the little mistakes will now be a thing of the past”.
