LAGOS – Mrs Tallatu Isa, the new Comptroller, Ports and Terminal Multi-Services Ltd., (PTML) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, on Thursday said she would be committed to higher revenue drive.
Isa, who made the pledge in Lagos on assumption of duty, said she hoped to surpass the revenue figures she inherited from her predecessor.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Isa took over from Comptroller Folorunsho Adegoke who has been transferred to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Customs Command in Lagos.
“I promise to surpass the figure I inherited from my predecessor. I don’t joke with my revenue,’’ she said.
The comptroller urged officers not to display unpleasant attitude to work, adding that they should be diligent in the course of discharging their duties.
Isa pleaded for the support of officers and stakeholders of the command and promised to carry all of them along.
She assured stakeholders and officers that she would always maintain an open door policy.
The comptroller also said that she would welcome constructive criticisms from officers but warned that she would not tolerate officers being rude to freight forwarders.
Adegoke, who introduced officers of the command to the new controller, said they should give the same support they gave to him to her.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Steve Okonma, at the end of the handing over ceremony said that “the comptroller assured us that she is here as a mother, a sister and a friend.
“Nobody is perfect. You all should feel free to come to her with constructive criticisms.
“Any officer that does his duties diligently will be recognised but she will not tolerate any act that is contrary to customs procedures,’’ Okonma said.
NAN reports that the new comptroller immediately embarked on a familiarisation tour of the command and Grimaldi Terminal. (NAN)
