ICPC Urges Customs Officers to Uphold Integrity

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) urged officers of the Nigeria Customs Service to maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency in revenue collection. This charge was made during a sensitization lecture held at the Customs Command Headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno State.

Mr. Linu Gubbi, representing the ICPC, described integrity, transparency, and accountability as essential pillars of effective public administration.

He warned that corruption undermines institutional credibility and impedes national development. Gubbi encouraged Customs officers to view themselves as ambassadors of ethical governance and to support initiatives that promote good governance across the public sector.

Chief Superintendent AC Abba Dzikwi presented a paper on enhancing integrity and accountability within Customs operations, highlighting the need for strict adherence to ethical standards. The event concluded with a vote of thanks from O Ogunduwas, who praised the ICPC's sustained efforts to promote ethical values in public institutions.
