Miko had earlier disclosed how his team worked out the discovery of huge amounts of unpaid duties in Apapa Port with the support of the service management and the Deputy Comptroller General in charge of Tarriff and Trade. He said the unpaid sums dated a few years back and efforts are being made to achieve full recovery.

JournalNG reports that some payments have being received from the companies listed as owing arrears of duties from the discovery after persistence, follow ups and strategic stakeholders engagement.

Findings by JournalNG also reveal that while the service is applying persuasion to achieve full recovery, it has not left out the options of applying sanctions like blocking of licences
