Nigeria Customs Service Partners with Communication Scholars

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has initiated plans to partner with the Association of Communication Scholars and Professionals of Nigeria (ACSPN) to foster collaboration in media, digital communication, and professional development. This discussion took place on Monday at the NCS National Headquarters in Abuja, where the executive members of ACSPN were received.

Abdullahi Maiwada, the National Public Relations Officer of NCS, represented Comptroller-General Adewale Adeniyi and emphasized the media's strategic role in communicating institutional reforms. He highlighted the importance of the service’s monthly newsletter, social media presence, and data analytics in these efforts.

Maiwada also mentioned the NCS's engagement with the creative industry through its movie projects, which have generated revenue and employment. Plans to expand the Nigeria Customs Broadcasting Network to Lagos and pursue corporate membership with ACSPN were also discussed.

Professor Rotimi Olatunji, President of ACSPN, praised the partnership and stressed the need for stronger synergy between communication scholars and media practitioners to combat misinformation.
