Comptroller Tenny Mankini Daniyan has assumed office as the new Customs Area Controller of the Port Terminal Multiservices Limited (PTML) Command, following the deployment by the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi. This development comes after the elevation of the former Customs Area Controller, Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) Saidu Abba Yusuf, to the rank of Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) of Customs.
During a brief handover ceremony, Comptroller Daniyan pledged to implement the provisions of the Nigeria Customs Service Act (NCSA) 2023, focusing on maximum revenue collection and enhanced trade facilitation. He emphasized the need to prevent revenue leakages and urged stakeholders to comply with regulations by making sincere declarations and paying duties on time. Comptroller Daniyan also stressed the importance of building trust and collaboration with stakeholders, including importers, licensed customs agents, freight forwarders, and the management of Grimaldi.
Comptroller Daniyan, who has served in various positions within the Nigeria Customs Service, including as Deputy Comptroller in charge of revenue at PTML, promised to build on existing customs community relations through regular stakeholder engagements and promote programs like the Time Release Study (TRS).

ACG Yusuf praised the Comptroller General for the strategic deployments being made across the service, describing Comptroller Daniyan as a very competent officer who will take the command to greater heights.
