The Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs, Joy Edelduok, who until her recent elevation, headed the Kirikiri Lighter Terminal (KLT) Command, has reflected on a tenure marked by reforms, renewed stakeholder confidence, and improved operational capacity, crediting the Command’s progress to strong collaboration and compliance from port users.
Speaking at her send-forth ceremony held on Monday, 1 December 2025, ACG Edelduok described her time at KLT as a transformative journey that brought measurable growth and revitalised the Command’s operations.
"Since my duration on board, we have brought quite a lot of changes here. For instance, before now, terminals were Moribond but by the grace of God, some are now very active as new ones have come on board like ESS Libra", she said.
These achievements were made possible through strong collaboration with our sister agencies and by ensuring the Command remains a friendly and efficient environment”, she added.
ACG Edelduok further highlighted the impact of the 48-hour clearance process, noting that it has encouraged investor confidence and enhanced operational efficiency.
According to her, the Command recorded a 24 percent increase in revenue performance compared to the previous year, a development she attributed to teamwork and improved compliance.
She commended officers, sister agencies, and stakeholders for their support and dedication, assuring them that her open-door policy would remain intact even after leaving the Command. She urged them to continue working in unity to sustain the gains recorded during her tenure.
The ceremony featured goodwill messages and commendations from senior officers and port stakeholders, celebrating ACG Edelduok’s leadership style and her commitment to fostering seamless port operations.
