Onne Port Revenue Rises To N19bn In October

The Area 2 Command, Onne Port in Rivers has reaffirmed commitment to value addition through increased revenue drive as it records steady growth from N13.11 billion to N19 billion in October.

Compt Auwal Mohammed

The command’s Comptroller Auwal Mohammed disclosed this during an interaction with jouranalists on Thursday in Onne, Eleme Local Area in Rivers.

According to him, the monthly revenue generation profile of the command clearly showed a steady increment month after month since September 2020.

“Precisely in September 2020, when I took over, the command generated N13.11 billion, the highest since its creation.

“It had since then continued on a steady upward growth to N16 billion and N19 billion recorded in October 2021.

“When we eventually release our annual report, possibly by the second week in January 2022, I assure you, we are going to surprise almost everybody and our efforts in this command will be further appreciated,” he said.

The comptroller, however, lamented poor state of the Port Harcourt/Onne axis of the East-West road, adding that movement of consignments were being delayed as a result of bad road.

“Our major challenge here is that we don’t have a motorable road linking Onne Port with other parts of the country.

“This is because anybody assessing the Onne Port must drive by the Eleme road which is currently in a deployable state.

“The road is our major challenge because no matter how many containers and trucks released, the rate at which import goods move in and export goods move out of the port is largely determined by the nature of the road.

“Although survey works, seismic vulnerability assessments and other technical measures in highway construction have begun.

“We look forward to a commendable stage of work in the coming months as this success would further impact positively on our overall operations,’’ he said.

Reacting to the challenge of clamping down on smugglers, the customs boss assured on readiness to stem the menace and bring it down to a barest minimum.

“Although smuggling cannot be completely stopped in any country in the world, the Nigeria Customs is, however, poised to reducing the menace to the barest minimum.

“In terms of substandard good, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) is saddled with the responsibility of controlling quality of goods coming into the country.

“For instance, an item even if it’s substandard as long as it is not listed among contraband goods, the customs cannot verify such items as to whether it is substandard or not.

“This is where SON comes in and I’m sure they (officers) are doing their best to rid the country of substandard goods,” he added.

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
