The Comptroller-General of Customs Adewale Adeniyi has received a 250KVA generator and a bus on behalf of the Nigeria Customs Service from the Chairman of the Trade Modernization Project (TMP), Saleh Ahmadu.
Adeniyi, who received the vehicle and generator in Abuja on Friday, expressed appreciation to TMP for the donation.
“On behalf of all officers and men, I appreciate this gesture that TMP has done for us through the presentation of the 250KVA generator and the 13-seater 2024 Toyota Hiace bus.
“We know that computers alone will not work by themselves; they will not effect the desired modernisation that we need.
“It will require human input, and the working environment of these elements is very important as well as those tools. So, we therefore appreciate these efforts you put in place to help us enhance the working environment and also improve the welfare of these officers,” he said.
He applauded TMP for being a worthy and dependable partner in the customs modernisation drive. He noted that the equipment delivered would be put to good use to bring added value to NCS operations.
Adeniyi encouraged the officers, from the rank of Assistant Comptroller and Deputy Comptroller, undergoing special training by the TMP in preparation for the management duties of the service to be attentive and acquire the necessary knowledge to discharge their responsibilities and take up the task ahead of them professionally.
The Chairman of TMP, Saleh Ahmadu, said the bus was for the effective movement of personnel between the headquarters and the TMP office, while the generator was for constant power supply to the management quarters of the NCS.
