The Ag. Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, has re-echoed his stand to sustain the mastership of the Service in the area of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians - through enhanced capacity building for his officers.

The CGC made this known during a courtesy visit of the Commandant of the National Institute for Security Studies(NISS), Ayodele Adeleke and members of the Institute to Customs headquarters Abuja on Tuesday, 6th September, 2023. 

CGC Adewale reiterated the need to join hands with the Institute in order to intensify the probity of officers and men of the Service. 

To him, "maintaining high security level in Nigeria should be a collaborative effort." 

The Customs Boss, who spoke about the importance of organizing capacity-building workshops, assured the entourage that the Service would continue to prioritize the institute.

Some members of the Service's management team and alumni of the institute expressed their appreciation for the opportunity garnered at NISS.

On his part, the Commandant of NISS, Ayodele Adeleke, noted that the Institute is currently researching "Globalization and Regional Economic Integration, Implications for Sustainable Development in Africa" and explained that their visit will be centred around a training program beneficial to the Service's management, officers, and personnel.

"The Institute is ready to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to pursue excellence," he said. 

The National Institute for Security Studies is a centre for security studies, research, capacity building and staff development, amongst others.
