Officers and men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), have participated in a 5km walk tagged “Work-Life Balance” aimed at strengthening collaboration between the two agencies.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, and the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, Shehu Muhammad also participated in the walk, which took place in Abuja, on Saturday.
Adeniyi expressed commitment to enhancing 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.
“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.
“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 said.
Also speaking, FRSC 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.
“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,” he said.
