Nigeria Customs Service Enhances Security Collaboration

The Nigeria Customs Service, under the leadership of Acting Area Controller Deputy Comptroller Dr Nkiru Nwala, is strengthening security partnerships and intelligence-sharing mechanisms with various agencies to enhance responses to security threats, promote lawful trade, and improve operational effectiveness. This initiative follows Dr Nwala's familiarisation visits to key agency heads, including C.

E. Okarazu of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Aniekan Archibong Nya of the Nigerian Correctional Service, and Dr Faluyi Oluwole of the Department of State Services. The visits aimed to deepen institutional cooperation and establish direct communication channels among the agencies.

The collaboration aligns with the Comptroller-General of Customs’ strategic mantra of Consolidation, Innovation, and Collaboration, focusing on inter-agency cooperation and coordinated operations. This initiative is expected to enhance communication and coordination among the agencies, particularly in addressing shared security concerns and enforcing relevant laws.
