Customs Promises to Support NAHCO on Commodity Export️

The Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO) has received a significant boost in its export operations as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, pledged full support for the NAHCO Export Packaging & Processing Centre (NEPPC). ✅

During a recent visit to NAHCO’s Head Office and the NEPPC in Lagos, Adeniyi praised the company’s efforts to develop a world-class export facility tailored for Nigerian commodities.


Key Highlights:

• Strong Customs Backing:
Mr. Adeniyi assured the NAHCO team that Customs is fully in support of NEPPC’s operations. He emphasized that his role as Comptroller-General — and even as a private citizen — compels him to support initiatives that strengthen Nigeria’s export ecosystem.

• Quote from the CG:

“I commend what you are doing here. And whatever you are doing, and it is improving the economy of the country, especially exports, I am all for it.”

• Actionable Directives:
Adeniyi directed Mr. MT Awe, Comptroller of the Cargo Terminal Command, to perfect all necessary procedures to ensure the full activation of NEPPC operations.

• High-Level Delegation:
Adeniyi was accompanied by top officials, including:
– ACG Charles Orbih, Zonal Coordinator, Zone A
– Comptroller MT Awe, Cargo Terminal
– Comptroller EJ Harisson, Murtala Int’l Airport Command
– Comptroller MS Shuaibu, FOU Zone A
This further reflects NCS’s strong commitment to export facilitation. ‍✈️‍✈️

• Aligning with Global Standards:
Adeniyi stressed that NCS is keenly interested in cargo processing centers that align with international best practices and compliance standards. ✅

• Beyond Revenue Generation:
He noted that Customs is not just about revenue collection, but also about supporting enterprises that foster job creation and attract foreign exchange into the economy.


️ NAHCO Responds:
Mr. Olumuyiwa Olumekun, GMD/CEO of NAHCO, expressed gratitude for the visit, describing it as a timely morale booster. He emphasized NAHCO’s commitment to boosting Nigeria’s agro-export sector, especially via air transport channels. ✈️
