The CGC was received by the Zonal Coordinator, Zone B, Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs Nsikan Umoh; Comptroller, Federal Operations Unit Zone B, Aminu Sule; Commandant of the Customs Training College, Deputy Comptroller of Customs Umar Atiku; alongside other principal officers and heads of units.
Speaking during the inspection, Adeniyi reaffirmed the NCS management’s commitment to providing the facilities, logistics and conducive learning environment required for effective training and professional capacity development.
