Patronise Locally- Made Products, Export More To Boost Nigeria’s GDP -Compt. Nnadi

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has tasked Nigerians to patronise locally-made products to boost the country’s economy.

 

Comptroller Dera Nnadi of Tin-Can Island Customs Command gave the advice during a courtesy visit to his office by Executive members of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos State Council on Thursday in Lagos.

 

According to the recently- deployed Tin Can Customs boss, the NCS will continue to engage relevant stakeholders in order to boost Nigeria’s economy.

 

“We are all aware that Nigeria Customs Service generates huge revenue for Nigeria and this is one of the reasons why we must be seen to be alive to our responsibilities.

 

“Beyond the issue of revenue generation, data emanating from NCS helps the Nigerian Government to formulate policies for economic growth, national security and for environmental and social security”, he explained.

 

Reacting to the high exchange rate bedeviling Nigeria’s economy, Nnadi gave assurances of the Naira bouncing back in spite of the fact that the surge would promote Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) in the country.

 

The Comptroller urged Nigerians to look inward and consume locally-made products, describing it as an avenue to grow the economy.

 

‘Whatever we produce locally and export will boost our earnings because of the exchange rate, not forgetting that the exchange rate will discourage importation of luxury items, ” he said..

 

With regards to revenue generation, Nnadi said Tin-Can Island Command would do all within its jurisdiction concerning 48 per cent of its uncollected revenue to meet the target for 2023 in the next two months.

 

He commended the media for being a partner in progress and tasked journalists to keep projecting the activities of the NCS.

 

“We will continue to partner with the media so that our intentions and actions can be properly understood by the public.

 

“We acknowledge the sacrifices journalists are making towards making sure that we deliver on our mandate and we shall continue to work together,” the comptroller said.

 

In his reaction, the Chairman, Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos State Council, Mr Adeleye Ajayi, commended Comptroller Nnadi’s media-friendly gesture.

 

“You have always made us proud and this is one of the reasons this visit is a home-coming.

 

“We celebrate your giant strides, which is evident of the confidence reposed in you by the Executive Management of the Nigeria Customs Service.

 

“The appointment of Comptroller Nnadi three weeks ago to head the Tin Can Island Customs Command, which is the second largest revenue earner, did not come as a surprise to the media.

 

“This is because the Comptroller is more than capable, very committed and passionate about excellence at any duty post he finds himself, ” Ajayi said.

 

The NUJ Chairman  reiterated the commitment of Lagos journalists to continue to project the activities of NCS.

 

“We want to put it on record that we are extending to you the same co-operation we extended  to the Comptroller-General of Customs Service, Mr Wale Adeniyi, who is also a long-standing and a very good friend of the NUJ.

 

“We also know that you will not allow fraudulent importers and exporters who are bent in shortchanging the government of its revenue through illicit importation and smuggling.

 

“We also intend to partner with the command on capacity building of journalists, especially our colleagues covering the Maritime beat in order to be able to quote you appropriately.

 

“We wish you a very successful tenure of office and promise you our cooperation and partnership all the time,” the NUJ chairman stated.

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
