Official says ‘Apapa Port is the hub of ease-of-doing-business’

Businessmen and women across the country have been urged to take advantage of the ease-of-doing-business initiative at Apapa Port.

Customs Area Controller of Apapa Port Command, Dr. Babatunde Olomu made the case in Abuja during the 2024 Comptroller-General of Customs Awards.

At the awards ceremony, the Apapa Port Command was recognised for its outstanding performance, receiving three prestigious awards in the areas of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and overall excellence.

He highlighted the simplified procedures implemented under the CGC’s modernisation regime to ensure seamless trade processes.

“We invite more businesses to leverage the facilities and initiatives at Apapa Port. Our commitment remains unwavering in ensuring efficient trade facilitation and contributing significantly to the nation’s economic growth,” he stated.

The awards were presented to the Apapa Command during the CGC awards night, underscoring its pivotal role in enhancing trade efficiency and boosting government revenue.

At the event, Olomu also emerged as the Best Customs Area Controller of the Year.

Olomu was reputed to have set up a revenue recovery committee to address leakages, especially in bonded terminals.

He also established a team to address complaints and disputes.

He said the Apapa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) raked in about N2.1 trillion into the Federal Government coffers in 2024.
