 CGC Urges Officers to Uphold Oath of Service for National Security


...Warns Officers Against Being Defaulters


The Comptroller General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, has called on officers to honour their oath of service, particularly in fulfilling their national security mandate. 


The CGC, who was on an operational visit at Apapa on Thursday, 04 June 2024, addressed officers of Apapa Area Command on the current security threats in the country. He highlighted the critical role of customs officers in safeguarding the nation's borders. 


Recounting the recent seizure of Arms and military accoutrements at the Lagos Airport and a similar seizure in Onne Port, the CGC emphasised the onerous tasks on officers to address the national security emergency in the country. 


He said, "Declarations made by these people who go through our desks are inside our system. What it means is that we have an onerous responsibility to address the national security emergency that we face in Nigeria."


"The trend has shown that there are desperate networks of support, people who conspire with them,

some of them within the service, some of them outside the service. And we have a responsibility not to allow them to bring that devilish merchandise into Nigeria", the CGC stressed.


Adeniyi highlighted the importance of adhering to proper procedures in ensuring goods are scanned and physically examined to prevent illegal items from entering the country. 


The CGC urged officers to maintain the highest level of integrity, as their actions can be traced. 


“We work with a system that has track and trace. What each and all of you do with our system can be tracked. It can be traced. We can attribute them to you in the next seven years or beyond. What you do not do can also be attributed to you, so either way, we can be located and called upon to account for our actions and inactions", he warned. 


"I, therefore, urge you to live to your responsibility; this nation is ours, revenue is important, trade facilitation is important, we are getting it right on those ends, and we must not fail on our mandate of national security. So the responsibility lies with all of us to live up to the oath of service, the oath of allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria", he emphasised.


He warned that anyone traced or caught on the wrong side of the law would not be spared.
