In order to strengthen Nigeria's economy, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has said it is committed to working with Nigeria LNG Limited, as confirmed by Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC) Adewale Adeniyi.
This assurance was communicated in a statement released by the National Public Relations Officer, CSC Abdullahi Maiwada on Wednesday 21st August 2024, when a delegation from Nigeria LNG Limited, led by its Managing Director, Philip Mshelbila, paid a courtesy call to the Comptroller-General of Customs at the Service's Headquarters in Abuja.
CGC Adeniyi conveyed his gratitude for the visit and underscored the significance of the enduring collaboration between NLNG and the Nigeria Customs Service.
"Your organization's contributions to our nation's energy sector cannot be over emphasized. On behalf of all of us, I wish to let you know that we value the productive partnership between us - and we are committed to sustaining this collaboration to further our shared mandates of fostering national growth and development." Adeniyi said.
He, however, applauded NLNG's proactive engagement and dedication to compliance, noting that such collaboration is essential for the smooth operation of the nation’s trade and economic systems.
"It is commendable that your organization not only engages with the Nigeria Customs Service when issues arise but also takes the initiative to visit us out of courtesy. This gesture signifies the mutual respect and understanding that are the bedrock of our relationship." CGC Adeniyi emphasized.
Earlier in his address, NLNG Managing Director, Philip Mshelbila, appreciated the CGC and his team for the warm reception and reiterated NLNG's commitment to extend its hands of friendship to NCS for Nigeria's economic growth.
"At NLNG, we recognise the Nigeria Customs Service's vital role in facilitating trade and ensuring the smooth operation of our activities. Our relationship has been one of mutual benefit, and we are committed to continuing our work together to promote the economic well-being of Nigeria." He said.
"We are grateful for the unwavering support we've received from your office and your team. This visit is a testament to our desire to maintain and deepen our collaboration, as we believe that our joint efforts contribute significantly to the nation's development."
The meeting was wrapped up with an exchange of souvenirs between the two parties, symbolizing the goodwill and mutual respect that defines their relationship.
