Recently promoted officers of Nigeria Customs Service will be decorated at the Customs headquarters, Abuja on Friday, January 5, 2024.
Among the two thousand two hundred and nine senior officers whose promotions were announced by the Board of the Service during its 58th regular
meeting held on Tuesday, 19 December 2023 are Comptrollers Ahmadu Bello Shuaib of Ogun 1 Customs Command and Kehinde Ejibunu of Federal Operations Unit, Zone A, Lagos.
The board also
confirmed the appointment of ACG Florence Nano Ogar-Modey and ACG Queen Ogubudu as substantive members of the NCS Management
Team.
While the senior officers will be decorated at Abuja headquarters of the Service the junior officers will have their decorations done at their respective commands across the country.
Comptroller General Adewale Adeniyi and members of the Customs management team are expected to decorate the newly promoted senior officers.
It would be recalled that a press statement issued by the National Public Relations Officer of the Service, CSC Abdullahi Maiwada, late December last year revealed the comprehensive promotion list which encompassed both General Duty (GD)
and Support Staff (SS) personnel who demonstrated outstanding performance in the 2023 promotion exercise.
The breakdown of promoted officers is as follows:

ASC II to ASC I – 321, ASC I to Deputy Superintendent of Customs (DSC) – 355,
DSC to Superintendent of Customs (SC) – 207, SC to Chief Superintendent of
Customs (CSC) – 500, CSC to Assistant Comptroller (AC) – 333, AC to Deputy
Comptroller (DC) – 78, and DC to Customs Comptroller (CC) – 67. Additionally, the board
approved special promotions for fourteen officers in recognition of their exceptional performance in various assigned responsibilities.
Among the newly promoted Comptrollers are AB Shuaib, TM Daniyan, F Fajana, N Isyaku, MV
Umana, AC Nwobi, F Abdulqadir, HK Ejibunu, FM Ojiofor, IN Aliyu, MD
Malah, EO Oshoba, JK Oladeji, E Luka, AP Daruaku, FM Ojeifor, IN Nwokorie, EJ Harrison and others.
Comptroller-General Adeniyi had expressed his heartfelt congratulations to the appointed/promoted officers and further urged them
to redouble their efforts in fulfilling the critical roles of revenue generation,
trade facilitation, and suppression of smuggling.
This, he said, will enhance the NCS’s pivotal role in bolstering Nigeria’s socio-economic well-being.
