Comptroller-General (CGC) of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Adewale Adeniyi, has charged the newly inaugurated chairmen and board members of NCS companies to effectively manage them and be dogged in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities.
Adeniyi, who gave the charge while inaugurating the companies’ new leaderships at the Customs Headquarters, Abuja, explained that incorporating the firms was part of NCS’ agenda to improve the well-being of its officers.

“The registration of the companies that have been mentioned constitutes part of our agenda to improve Officers’ welfare.
“Their role in revenue generation and the implementation of fiscal policies of the government and the economic prosperity of the country cannot be overemphasized.”
The Customs CG noted that the board members were drawn from the service’s relevant departments, adding that the growing concerns would engage in specific businesses, ranging from aviation services to hospitality, healthcare, and broadcasting services.
He further explained that NCS was taking a cue from other MDAS, which successfully engaged in these ventures and expressed the hope that the newly inaugurated boards would nurture the companies to be stable and profit-oriented.
