The arrival of Comptroller Dera Nnadi mni as the twentieth Area Controller of Tin Can Island Port Area Command of Nigeria Customs Service has changed the story of the command in less than 17 days that he took over.
The command which barely collected 52 per cent of its revenue target of over N801 billion by the middle of September, living 48 per cent for remaining three months, has received impetus to meet the target by the end of the year.
The rise in monthly revenue in the month that has just ended by 120 per cent under Nnadi’s watch is the tonic the command needed to brace up and meet the target by the end of the year.
