[dropcap]C[/dropcap]omptroller Jayne T. Shoboiki(Mrs)Phd., the present Controller in charge of Murtala Muhammed Airport Customs Command, Lagos fits into the mold where scholars conclude that great men and women achieve success through hardwork and resilience. She remains the luckiest in terms of favourable circumstances. She is one of the few officers that have served round trip the most successful commands in Nigeria. Compt. Shoboiki is not disposed to unnecessary talks and frivolities; a no nonsense woman who had all through her leadership role in the service proved herself to be a leader that matches words with actions.There has never been any empty promises in her role as she ensures that she carries out her words to the letter.
Since she was redeployed as the Customs Area Controller of Murtala Muhammed(MMA)Customs Command , she has magically turned around the operations of the command revenue wise with unprecedented revenue generated since she took over. She has hitherto raised the performance bar of the unit to an exampled level in the history of the command. This is due to the fact that the refined officer is adjudged according to industry watchers to be a revenue oriented officer as well as her encomiums emanated from commands with performance based on revenue. Many senior customs officers hailed the Col. Hameed Ali (rtd) led management’s decision of redeploying Comptroller Jayne T.Shoboiki(Mrs)Phd.to the MMA Customs Command to pilot the affairs of the unit knowing fully well she is a great performer and a goal getter; bearing in mind that the command is one of the nerve centres of the Nigeria Customs Service.
Compt.Shoboiki aggressive approach to work and the proactiveness of the Command officers have resulted to increase in revenue generation and a remarkable seizures of Military hard wares, elephant tusks, wild life parts (pangolin scales) and other contraband items intercepted by this Command and trade facilitation with much efforts and emphasis on blockage of revenue leakages through 100 percent examination of cargoes.
Compt.Shoboiki having served in several other commands,she has vigorously pursued an aggresive approach through resilience, and discipline towards 100 percent examination of cargoes to sustain continuous increase in revenue generation at the command. This is evident in the recent records on revenue generated at the command and seizures.
On Inter-Agency collaboration, the CAC had visited and had meetings with other government agencies for a good working relationship. Since she assumed office,Murtala Muhammed Customs Command handed over 99 sacks of unprocessed Donkey skin to Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service, 30 sacks of Pangolin scales and eight bags of elephant tusks to National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency, NESREA, for further investigation to unravel the syndicates behind smuggling these items.Murtala Muhammed Customs Area Command,led by Compt.Shoboiki cannot stop the unending onslaught against dubious Clearing agents with their Importers as her proactive officers will continue to frustrate their illegal activities.
Comptroller Jayne T.Shoboiki,the Controller of Murtala Muhammed Customs Command of the Nigeria Customs Service,who by any matrix can be called an anti-smuggling czar,has vowed not to relent in the national assignment of blocking revenue leakage and ridding the country of contraband items, as smugglers are economic saboteurs who are bent on circumventing the law.
