As the Nigeria Customs Service mourns his passing, the thoughts and prayers of the entire service are with his family, hoping they find strength and solace amid their grief.


In a gesture of support and assurance, the CGC informed the family that the letter concerning the burial arrangements had been received and that the service would expedite the processing of all benefits due to the late officer. "This commitment underscores the Nigeria Customs Service's dedication to honouring the service and memory of Deputy Comptroller Essien." The CGC noted.
