NAGAFF Hails Landmark Establishment of Nigeria Customs Service University: A Beacon of Excellence
The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) has warmly commended the federal government's visionary approval for the establishment of the Nigeria Customs Service University. This groundbreaking initiative marks a significant milestone in enhancing the intellectual capacity, performance, and productivity of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) officers.
In a statement, Hon. Ibrahim Tanko, National Coordinator of NAGAFF's 100% Compliance Team, expressed enthusiastic support for this trailblazing move. "We wholeheartedly welcome the idea," Tanko emphasized, highlighting the university's potential to strengthen customs officers' capabilities and amplify their expertise.
The Nigeria Customs Service University aims to provide cutting-edge training and education, tailored to meet the specific needs of customs officers. This innovative approach will significantly improve their efficiency and effectiveness in managing Nigeria's borders and trade, aligning with broader goals of:
- Enhancing trade enforcement
- Boosting revenue generation
- Amplifying customs expertise
Tanko stressed the importance of leveraging existing customs training schools in Ikeja and Kano for promotion examinations, advocating for in-house management to ensure integrity and security.
NAGAFF's call for in-house examiners reflects a desire to maintain the prestige and integrity of the Nigeria Customs Service. By harnessing internal expertise, the association believes the NCS can achieve greater transparency and efficiency.
As the Nigeria Customs Service University project progresses, it is poised to become a hub for excellence in customs education and training, supporting the service's vision to be a world-class customs administration.
This initiative, combined with effective utilization of existing training facilities, promises to elevate the standards of the Nigeria Customs Service, contributing significantly to the nation's economic growth and development.
NAGAFF's endorsement underscores the significance of this landmark achievement, heralding a new era of excellence in Nigeria's customs administration.
