The CGC further stated that the loss of Deputy Comptroller Etop Essien is a reminder of the fragility of life and the profound impact of dedicated public servants. His memory will undoubtedly continue to inspire his colleagues and those who knew him. 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.


Responding, Mrs. Essien, the widow of the late Deputy Comptroller, expressed her profound gratitude to the CGC for his visit and kind words. She shared how her husband had always held the CGC and the Nigeria Customs Service in high esteem, even until his final moments. "He respected and admired the service greatly," she said.
