The Nigeria Customs Service Board has approved the promotion of 3, 312 senior officers, alongside the appointment of four Deputy Comptroller-General and 12 Assistant Comptroller-Generals.
The National Public Relations Officer of the NCS, Abdullahi Maiwada, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, saying that the board reached this decision during its 63rd regular meeting held on September 2, chaired by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun.
Maiwada explained that the promotions address vacancies resulting from the retirement of some management team members from various geopolitical zones across the Federation. He added that the decision reflects the service’s commitment to inclusivity, institutional balance, and adherence to the Federal Character Policy as specified in Section 14(4) of the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023.
According to him, the promotions underscore the Service’s commitment to merit-based career progression and recognition of outstanding performance.
