The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), as part of efforts to reposition the agency for greater operational efficiency, has approved the redeployment of comptrollers at various commands across the country.
The acting Comptroller General of Customs, Mr Bashir Adeniyi, on Wednesday, explained that the redeployment of the customs comptrollers was in response to the statutory retirement of some management members of the service.
In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer, Mr Abdullahi Maiwada, Mr Adeniyi approved key appointments and redeployment within the service to ensure operational efficiency.
“Consequently, comptrollers Florence Nanu Ogar-Modey and Queen Ogbudu have been appointed acting Assistant Comptroller Generals Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and Conal Coordinator Zone B, respectively.”
The statement noted that some of the comptrollers affected by the redeployment included Comptroller Jaiyeoba Jide from Oyo/Osun Area Command to Apapa Area Command, Comptroller Dera Nnadi from Seme to Tin-Can Island Port, Comptroller Timi Bomodi from KLT to Seme, Comptroller Ahmed Abe from PCA Zone ‘C’ to Kaduna Area Command and Comptroller Babandede Mohammad from Lilypond Export Command to Lagos Free Trade Zone Command.
“Others are Comptroller Dauda Ibrahim Chana from investigation headquarters to Kano/Jigawa Area Command, Comptroller Martina Tilleygyado from non-intrusive inspection to KLT Area Command, Comptroller Oloyode Adekunle from Tin-Can Island Port to Import & Export Headquarters while Comptroller Zanna Chiroma will be leaving Import & Export for PCA Zone ‘C’, among many others,” it said.
The acting Comptroller-General Adeniyi congratulated the newly appointed/redeployed officers and charged them to put more effort into achieving the service’s core mandates of revenue generation, suppression of smuggling, and trade facilitation.
