Ali Decorates New Customs Management Members

Fourteen members of the new Management of Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, have been decorated by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd).

The ceremony took place at the headquarters of the Service in Abuja.

According to a statement issued Wednesday by Public Relations Officer of the NCS, Wale Adeniyi, Ali charged members of the new members to re-dedicate themselves to hardwork and commitment to nation building through efficient and effective service delivery.

He stressed that the members were appointed purely based on merit devoid of lobbying and any external influence.

The ceremony marked the formal constitution of a new management for the Service and brought on board six Deputy Comptrollers-General namely: Suleiman Idris, Ukaigwe Paul, Umar Iya, Ugo Daniel, Warikoru Austin and Adeyemo Grace.

Also decorated were eight Assistant Comptrollers-General following a restructuring process that led to the retirement of some members of the former management.

To the new team the CGC said “We must deliver on our mandate and work towards making 2016 the best year in the Nigeria Customs Service”.

Responding on behalf of the newly promoted Officers, Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs in-charge of Finance, Administration and Technical Service, Idris Suleiman expressed gratitude to God for providing the type of leadership in the nation and the NCS in particular.

He said with a leadership that leads by example as exemplified by the CGC, it becomes easy for well-meaning subordinates to key in and work towards the achievement of the Service mandate.
