The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, has charged officers who graduated from Senior Course 10 at the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, to prioritize staff welfare and continuous learning.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony on June 7, 2024, CGC Adeniyi said, “I congratulate you for your commitment, which has led us to today’s occasion. I implore you to put to work all you have learned during your training at the college.”
He also assured the college management and members of his unflinching efforts to enhance the welfare of officers and members, directing staff, which will improve efficiency in the Service.
The Commandant of the College, Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs, Kingsley Egwuh, conferred the graduating students with the title of Pass Senior Course (PSC) and implored them to practice what they have learned.
Deputy Commandant and Director of Studies of the College, Comptroller Oluyomi Adebakin, highlighted that the students had been duly trained in various fields in accordance with the curriculum of the Senior Course to enhance officers’ skills and abilities with a high level of moral standards.
The management of the college had earlier hosted a regimental dinner night to honour the graduates of Senior Course 10, where the CGC was represented by DCG Beatrice Nwafor, who tasked the graduates to consider the opportunity of attending a month’s course at the college as a means to improve their performance as Customs officers.
The graduation ceremony marked the end of a rigorous six-month training program for the officers, who are now expected to add value to the Service and contribute to maximizing security at the borders, suppressing smuggling, and generating revenue.
