Collaboration: Customs, FRSC Stage 5km Walk to Promote Work-Life Balance
The Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, on Saturday, 17 August 2024, co-led officers and men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) alongside the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), with the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Shehu Muhammad, in a 5km walk tagged “Work-Life Balance” aimed at strengthening collaboration between the two agencies.
Shortly after co-leading the 5km “Work-Life Balance” event with Corps Marshal Shehu Muhammad, which started at the FRSC Headquarters around 6 am, officers and men of the two agencies traversed Herbert Macaulay Way to the Wuse Market traffic light and returned to the FRSC Headquarters via Maputo Street.
CGC Adeniyi expressed a solid determination to enhance inter-agency collaboration between the NCS and the FRSC, particularly in curbing smuggled vehicles on Nigerian roads.
He reiterated that the essence of the walk was to strengthen the existing relationship among security agencies and foster the spirit of friendship. He added, “I am very sure that all my officers and I have really enjoyed the outing. I promise that moving forward, we will be part of this exercise every month.”
The CGC implored officers and men of the FRSC and NCS to embrace the spirit of brotherhood to achieve their mandates. He said, “I have always reiterated that there are many things we can do together. I implore us all to continue exploring ways to work together because we are stronger when we are united.”
“Our systems can synergise so that we don’t allow smuggled cars on our roads. Through this collaboration, we can ensure that every vehicle registered in Nigeria has paid the correct duties,” he added.
In his remarks, Corps Marshal Shehu Muhammad expressed his belief that organising social activities and exercises between sister security agencies could be key to building a prosperous nation.
“I am optimistic that such outings will improve our health and well-being. We all know that good health is not just wealth but also freedom and the best blessing God gives mankind,” he said.
“Therefore, this exercise will continue monthly, and we will always be ready to converge here for this same event because we believe that a healthy workforce is key to productivity,” Corps Marshal Muhammad added.
He expressed his sincere appreciation to CGC Adeniyi for attending the event in person. He noted, “I want to sincerely appreciate the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, who is here with his full team. This demonstrates the strong partnership and brotherhood between the Nigeria Customs Service and the Federal Road Safety Corps.”
“What the Comptroller-General of Customs and his team showcased this morning reflects the spirit of love and good synergy between us, as Customs are brothers to the FRSC,” he said.
He concluded by noting that the NCS has been a solid partner to the FRSC on several occasions, adding, “I am confident this partnership will continue.”.
