Ahmad added that the command has been doing well in revenue generation and trade facilitation, and without incidences of officers dying or shooting.

According to him, they had exceeded their revenue generation in the first quarter by 20 percent.

He assured those that are yet to be promoted that they would soon get their own, as promotion comes from God.

Speaking, Senator Sa’idu Alkali urged the service men not to relent in the fight against corruption as the present government has zero-tolerance for corruption.
