On Wednesday, 17 September 2025, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) welcomed Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Benjamin Hundeyin, the newly appointed Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) of the Nigeria Police Force, to its Headquarters in Abuja. The visit marked a significant step toward enhancing inter-agency collaboration in strategic communication, public engagement, and institutional trust.
Assistant Comptroller Abdullahi Maiwada, the National Public Relations Officer of the NCS, received CSP Hundeyin warmly and commended his humility and dedication. Drawing from his own experience, Maiwada offered practical advice on navigating the complexities of public relations within a security framework.
“Public relations is a learning curve,” Maiwada noted. “You’ll encounter diverse stakeholder expectations, but success lies in building a committed team, empowering young officers, and learning from those who came before you.”
He emphasized the importance of professionalism and resilience, especially during crises, and reminded all present that the true measure of their work lies in the legacy they leave behind.
In response, CSP Hundeyin expressed appreciation for the warm reception and described the visit as a symbol of unity and partnership. He stressed that effective security communication requires collaboration and pledged to work closely with the NCS to advance shared national objectives.
The visit concluded with a guided tour of the Public Relations Sub-unit and the Nigeria Customs Broadcasting Network (NCBN), where CSP Hundeyin was introduced to the Service’s expanding media infrastructure.
