He stated that his tenure as Area Controller was an enjoyable one with robust support from his officers, port stakeholders and other sister agencies, Malanta prayed that his successor would have similar testimonies to share about the Command during his tenure.

According to him, “Apapa is my home and will always remain my home. I have friends among the officers and stakeholders, especially the press.

I appreciate the intelligence reports and guidance that you availed me over the years and I want you to give it to my successor,” Malanta said.

On his part, the newly-appointed Area Controller, Comptroller Auwal Mohammed stated that his first assignment will be to sustain the revenue drive and other laudable activities at the Command.

He said: “My first assignment will be to make sure that I sustain the tempo at the Command and strive to introduce due process. This due process means we have to do our work dutifully and with regard for professionalism.”

While acknowledging that, replacing Comptroller Malanta at Apapa is a huge feat, he posited that he is prepared for the huge onus of leading the nation’s busiest port.

“I’m appealing to you not to relent on your efforts and I’m also appealing to you to grant me the same support you granted my predecessor and the sky will not be our limit, but our starting point,” he remarked.

The new Area Controller also encouraged port users to stick to proper declaration in order to ensure trade facilitation at the Command.
