The newly appointed Comptroller of the Niger, Kogi Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, Pascal Chibuoke, has issued a stern warning to smugglers and economic saboteurs to cease their illegal activities or face severe consequences.
Chibuoke assumes leadership from Bamidele Makinde, who was recently promoted to Assistant Comptroller General of Customs.
In a statement released on Thursday, Minna Command headquarters spokesman Munazzir Abdullahi quoted Chibuoke as emphasizing his commitment to enforcing the Comptroller General of Customs’ directives on revenue collection and maintaining order.
In the words of Chibuoke, “At this time of economic crisis, we will not tolerate smuggling and economic sabotage. I urge you to find legitimate businesses.
“I am here to enforce the Comptroller General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi directives on revenue generation and suppression of smuggling.”
He called on officers and men to put more effort into consolidating the success of the command, Nigeria Customs Service, and Nigeria at large.
On his part, the outgoing Comptroller thanked the leadership of the Nigeria Customs Service for the opportunity to serve in the command and urged the officers and men of the command to extend their support and cooperation to the new Comptroller.
