 Customs WMC Embarks on Environmental Friendly Exercise


The Nigeria Customs Service, Western Marine Command, has launched an environmental exercise within the command to promote sustainability and protect the local ecosystem.


The exercise focused on cleaning, planting and preserving the Command’s immediate surroundings, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices.


The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Paul Bamisaiye, on Friday, 21 June 2024, led his officers and men to plant flowers and plants to beautify and make the command environmentally friendly. 


Speaking on his motivation, the CAC stated, "When you love the scent of the flower, you are at peace with nature. So we're being environmentally friendly, and every Saturday, we also do environmental sanitation to keep our environment tidy."


The Customs Area Controller, who enjoys farming, acknowledged that the exercise is also borne out of the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi's work-life balance initiative.


In another development, Comptroller Bamisaiye received officers from the Nigerian Army 15 Field Engineer Regiment (FER) to consolidate their existing synergy in ensuring the security of Nigeria's Waterways. 


Receiving his guests, Comptroller Bamisaiye, who had earlier paid a courtesy call to the unit, noted, "It is in the spirit of collaboration, consolidation and innovation as initiated by our Comptroller General, Adewale Adeniyi, we have been there to visit them before now, so they have come to reciprocate our gesture because we work in collaboration".


"There has always been cooperation and synergy between us. They need us, as we need them. At times, when we have a difficult task confronting the smugglers, we call them for reinforcement, and they respond, and it's the same thing with us. Our goals are not competitive; we are serving the same master, and it is for the good of the two agencies, as well as the nation," the CAC emphasised. 


On his part, the Commanding Officer 15 Field Engineer Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Lawan, stated that the synergy will improve the operations of the two agencies to combat smuggling, piracy, and other illicit activities that threaten the economic and social stability of the Lagos/Badagry Waterway.
