- Ndubuisi Francis in Abuja

The Director-General of a pan-Nigeria group, Think Nigeria First Initiative (TNIF), Ambassador Abubakar Tsanni has commended the Nigeria Customs Service, Tin Can Island Command for generating a daily revenue of N1 billion since the beginning of March 2017.

Such a feat, he noted, could only be achieved by a well-coordinate­d and focused leader that has the interest of the country at heart.

Tsanni described the Area Controller, Yusuf Bashar as a certified trade facilitato­r, who had brought a lot of changes and innovation to the entire command. He urged the Area Controller to continue with the impressive record, saying that if such feat can be sustained, the command can meet its monthly target of N25.4 billion and N303 billion annual target respectful­ly.

He also stated that the return of President Muhammadu Buhari from his medical trip abroad is a good news for Nigerians. He prayed God to grant him total healing, saying Buhari’s return has rekindled the hope for a better change in Nigeria.

Tsanni, therefore, called on every citizen, irrespecti­ve of religious or ethnic background, to join in praying for the total recovery of the president as well as the peace and developmen­t of the entire country.

He also commended the Christian Associatio­n of Nigeria (CAN) and the Izala Islamic group as well as other wellmeanin­g citizens who have continued to pray for the president, urging everyone to support the APC-led administra­tion in rebuilding Nigeria.

He also extolled what he described as the exemplary leadership style of Buhari, noting that he transmitte­d power to the Vice President Prof Yemi Osinbajo, adding that it demonstrat­ed unity of purpose in governance.”

The TNFI’s boss said that Buhari’s anti-corruption drive was yielding positive result as the federal government has continue to recover huge sums of money from treasury looters.
