Comptroller Mohammed Yusuf, in charge of the Nigeria Customs Service, Murtala Mohammed Airport Command, has handed over the mantle of leadership to the new Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Michael Awe.
In a ceremony held at the command on April 17, 2024, the outgoing Comptroller Yusuf expressed gratitude to God and his subordinates for ensuring peace within the Command, adding that “when I came in, the revenue target was N225m daily, shortly after, the target was increased to ₦400m but we were able to make 90.2% of the revenue target”.
“This year, we are saddled with generating N550m daily. With our strategy, we have gotten N14bn in January, February, and N16bn in March, which means our target of N12bn has been surpassed within the past few months. ” He emphasised.
He added how he managed stakeholders through an open-door policy, which greatly facilitated positive engagement and revenue generation.
Comptroller Yusuf also urged the officers to rededicate themselves to duty and fully support the new CAC, Awe.
He also advised CAC Awe to give a listening ear and, likewise, to operate an open door policy to succeed in his new position.
Appreciating his predecessor for his hard work, CAC Awe noted that even though he is not entirely new at the Command, he will consolidate on the existing structure, which requires the cooperation and support of all and sundry.
“This environment is a known place to me because I was the team manager of the Customs Intelligence Unit here some couple of years ago.” He said
“Seeing the revenue achieved, things are really going well, and that is due to everyone’s hard work, which I would request us to continue to contribute,” he added.Comptroller Mohammed Yusuf, in charge of the Nigeria Customs Service, Murtala Mohammed Airport Command, has handed over the mantle of leadership to the new Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Michael Awe.
