The Customs Area Controller of Apapa Command, Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba, has charged newly promoted officers of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to intensify efforts in boosting revenue generation and strengthening compliance at the nation’s premier port.
Addressing the officers during their decoration ceremony, Oshoba described the promotions as a reward for excellence, innovation, and dedication to service. He emphasized that the NCS expects even greater commitment from the beneficiaries in revenue generation and trade facilitation.
“Your promotion is a call to improve your performance and justify management’s confidence in you,” Oshoba said.
“I expect you to make a positive impact in your new roles, contribute to revenue generation, strengthen asset-based management, and ensure compliance with trade regulations for economic growth and national security,” he added.
The Area Controller also expressed appreciation to the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR, and the NCS management team for ensuring that merit was upheld as the guiding principle in the promotion exercise.
Encouraging officers who were not promoted, Oshoba urged them to remain diligent and focused, assuring that their efforts would be recognized in future exercises. He further charged all personnel to uphold integrity, professionalism, and diligence in their duties, stressing that the ultimate goal is to strengthen the Service and contribute to national development.
Speaking on behalf of the newly promoted officers, Chief Superintendent of Customs Bello Abdullahi expressed gratitude to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the NCS management, and the Comptroller-General for finding them worthy of elevation.
He noted that the promotion was not merely a personal achievement but a collective testimony to the dedication and teamwork of officers and men of the Apapa Area Command.
Abdullahi also acknowledged the mentorship of senior officers and the sacrifices of their families, whose support, he said, makes their work possible.
