Port Harcourt, Oct. 28, 2022 – The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Onne Seaport chapter, said it would continue to uphold fiscal policy of the federal government through synergy with the Nigerian Customs Service.

Mr Mike Ebeatu, Chairman of the group said this in a statement signed by the group’s Public Relations Officers Mr Obinna Nwachukwu and made available to newsmen on Friday in Port Harcourt.

The chairman noted that the group has ensured that it’s members adhered to set standards of the Nigerian Customs Service in compliance with tax remittance and ban on illicit trade at the port terminal.

“Upon assumption as the Area Controller, Compt Auwal Mohammed made it clear that the area command will not tolerate illegalities and as a stakeholder, ANLCA equally keyed into that laudable mandate.

“ANLCA is a professional organization committed to patriotic goals, and would not support any acts capable of undermining the nation’s economy.” Ebeatu said in a statement.

The chairman also debunked insinuation by some quarters alleging non-declaration of consignments and evasion of customs duties by some Frieght Forwarders who are also members of ANLCA

Discribing the insinuation as untrue, he said that the allegation was a deleberate attempt at destroying existing synergy between the body and the Nigerian Customs Service.

Ebeatu therefore, on behalf of the group pledged continued cooperation with relevant stakeholders with a view of enhancing achievements in the subsector.
