The Customs Area Controller of Apapa Area Command, Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba, has charged officers and men of the Command to uphold discipline and prioritise stakeholder-friendly operations, warning that delays and misconduct will not be tolerated.
Speaking during a parade at the Command on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, Comptroller Oshoba said protecting the reputation of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) must remain a priority for every officer.
Officers must protect the service’s reputation. That is why any delay by any officer concerning any consignment will not be tolerated, even at the gates. If a consignment is duly exited, please, there should be no delay at the gates,” Oshoba said.
He stressed that professionalism, integrity and respect for stakeholders remain central to the Comptroller-General’s agenda, while warning officers against actions that could undermine the Service’s progress.
“You must make yourself accessible to our stakeholders, and we must all avoid actions capable of tarnishing the good image of the service and the good work being done by the CGC and his management members. We should not be seen as slugs in the wheels of progress,” he said.
Emphasising discipline as the foundation of effective service delivery, Comptroller Oshoba declared that obedience to lawful instructions remains non-negotiable within the Command.
The Customs Area Controller urged officers to continue working together towards the success of the Command and the overall progress of the Service.
