By Anne Ejuka

... Commits to Prioritising Staff Welfare



The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, on 7th June 2024, at the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, charged officers who partook in rigorous training of Senior Course 10 to continue to consider themselves as 'good' ambassadors of the Service, while also embracing the significance of continuous learning to add value to the Service.

According to a statement from the National Public Relations Officer of the Service, CSC Abdullahi Maiwada, the CGC while addressing the graduates, implored them to be more committed and be good ambassadors of the College.

The statement reads, “It is a great honour and privilege to be back in this prestigious institution and to be part of this graduation ceremony of Senior Course 10 today. It is without a doubt that you have spent six months having rigorous training that will equip you to add value to the Service. I congratulate you for your commitment; which has led us to today’s occasion".


While tasking them to put to work all they have learned during their training at the college as the country awaits their positive contributions in maximising the security at the borders, suppressing smuggling and generating revenue, Adeniyi equally used the opportunity to assure the college management and members of his unflinching efforts to enhance the welfare of officers and members directing staff which, according to him, will improve efficiency in the Service.

Earlier in his opening remarks, the Commandant of the College, Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs, Kingsley Egwuh, congratulated the graduating students and conferred them with the title of Pass Senior Course (PSC).


ACG Kingsley said, “With permission of the Special Guest of Honour, the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, I stand here before you with joy to confer you all with this title, and I want to implore you to practice what you have learned as you go back to your respective Commands".

On her part, Deputy Commandant and Director of Studies of the College, Comptroller Oluyomi Adebakin, highlighted that the students had been duly trained in various fields in accordance with the curriculum of the Senior Course to enhance officers’ skills and abilities with a high level of moral standards.

“I have no doubts in my mind that considering the quality of training you have received, you all will be good ambassadors of the College and the Service at large and I wish to implore you to exhibit your competence to your subordinates when you go back to your places of work.” Comptroller Adebakin said.


Similarly, the management of the college had, on Wednesday, 5th June 2024, hosted a regimental dinner night to honour the graduates of Senior Course 10, where the CGC was represented by DCG Beatrice Nwafor, the Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs in-charge of Excise, Free-Trade Zone and Industrial Incentives.

Addressing the graduates during the regimental dinner night, DCG Nwafor tasked them to consider the opportunity of attending a month's course at the college as a means to improve their performance as Customs officers, "You are now as strong as eagles. You are, therefore, expected to keep soaring higher".
