The new Zonal Coordinator and Assistant Controller General of Customs in charge of Zone A Headquarters in Lagos, Modupe Aremu, on Friday tasked stakeholders on compliance with rules and regulations to boost revenue.

Aremu made the assertion after taking over from her predecessor, acting Deputy Comptroller General (DCG), Katherine Ekekezie.

According to her, when there is compliance, there will be an increase in revenue and less intervention.

She added that if exporters complied with the rules, clearing time would not take more than 24 hours in the customs zone.

“With the coming onboard of e-customs soon, there is going to be an end-to-end automation so there will be paperless transactions, no personal contact.

“There will also be deployment of scanners at the borders and airports, and this will improve on our revenue collection and so to achieve this, compliance is key,” she said.

Aremu described Ekekezie as someone she looked up to over the years and would do everything possible to project the image of Zone A positively.

She thanked the management of Customs under the leadership of the Comptroller-General, Hameed Ali, for reposing confidence in her by bringing her to Zone A.

Earlier, Ekekezie pointed out that the basis for revenue for Zone A was absolute compliance at all levels, not just at the level of the importers, but the officers too.

She added that Zone A was where officers proved their worth and this showed in their work.

“I started this journey on Oct 15, 2018 and I feel so happy, that I am handing over to a sister, I know she is very capable and I thank the CGC for making this possible.

“Officers in this zone are compliant and they have to be compliant to be able to instil compliance in another person.

“Also, a lot of things has happened. Customs is looking very good because the controller general is very particular about his officers.

“They have been trained and retrained and that is why you see that things that used to be done upside down is now done properly,” she said.

She urged Aremu to carry along officers in the zone so that she would get the best out of them.

Also, Comptroller Sani Madugu while appreciating the outgoing DCG Ekekezie, described her as a selfless and hardworking person.

He welcomed Aremu and assured her that she would be getting full cooperation from all officers in the zone.

Madugu noted that Zone A was number one in the country in terms of revenue, seizure and with enough officers, importers and clearing agents.

He, however, assured her of the support of all the stakeholders to achieve the desired result.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
