On enforcement, Onyeka highlighted significant seizures of prohibited and improperly declared goods, underscoring the command’s commitment to national security and economic integrity. “While we facilitate trade, we will not compromise national security, public safety, or economic integrity,” he emphasized.
Appreciating the Comptroller-General of Customs, Dr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, for exemplary leadership, Onyeka also thanked stakeholders for improved compliance and officers for their dedication. The command remains focused on sustaining revenue generation and intensifying enforcement.
