The newly deployed Comptroller of Nigeria Customs Services (NSC), Federal Operations Unit, Zone ‘C’ (FOUC) Owerri, Mr Ali Ibrahim, has assumed duty, with a call on officers to maintain the status quo of good records.
Addressing his principal officers in Owerri, Ibrahim, while congratulating his predecessor, Mr Yusuf Lawal, on his successful retirement, urged his officers to ensure they continued to record monumental seizures in order to raise maximum DN.
Ibrahim thanked the Comptroller General, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), for the opportunity to serve and pledged his unwavering commitment to the fight against smuggling.
He called on officers and men of FOUC to fully cooperate with him for best results while assuring them of his commitment to their welfare.
He also charged journalists to be positive and objective in their reportage, while pledging his readiness to synergize with them for the overall good of the FOUC in particular and NCS/Nigeria in general.
He said: “I use this opportunity to solicit maximum cooperation from our men and officers and to ensure compliance with the current import and export guidelines.”
He warned smugglers against their illicit activities, while he vowed to make them uncomfortable with their planned water-tight security strategy.
In his remarks, the Deputy Comptroller (DC) in charge of FOUC Administration, Sunday Opakanmi described Lawal as a God-fearing, astute and friendly father whose achievements were written in gold and prayed God to grant him long life and peace of mind to enable him to enjoy his retirement.
Adding his voice, Mr Joseph Adelaja, an Assistant Comptroller of Customs in charge of Aba/Eleme Patrol Base, prayed God’s blessings on the new Comptroller while wishing him a successful time in the zone.
Also, Mr Ibrahim Usman, an Assistant Comptroller of Customs and Officer in Charge of Port Harcourt Information Patrol Team, pledged his support for the new comptroller and called on men and officers of FOUC to maximally cooperate with the new leadership which would bring about spectacular seizures especially as the yuletide approaches.
