NCS Comptroller General Adeniyi Approves Key Management Appointments
The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Adewale Adeniyi, has approved new appointments within the service’s key management team. This announcement follows the retirement of several high-ranking officials, leading to the reshuffling and elevation of others to critical positions.
According to a statement issued on Friday by NCS spokesperson Abdullahi Maiwada, the newly appointed officials will oversee various strategic departments within the Customs Service.
Among the appointees is BM Jibo, who has been promoted to the role of Deputy Comptroller-General, responsible for finance, administration, and technical services.
Other notable appointments include OA Alajogun, who will serve as the acting Deputy Comptroller-General in charge of enforcement, inspection, and investigation. Additionally, IG Umar has been designated as the acting Assistant Comptroller-General (ACG) at the NCS headquarters.
In other areas, OA Salefu has been named acting ACG for training and doctrine command, while BA Makinde will take over as acting ACG in charge of human resource development. Finally, Timi Bomodi has also been appointed as the acting ACG for enforcement, inspection, and investigation.
These appointments are aimed at strengthening the leadership structure of the Customs Service and ensuring that its operational and administrative functions are carried out effectively.
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose has spoken about what he considers one of the country’s biggest problems, stating that many Nigerians are worried about government taxation, insecurity, and the increasing rate of kidnappings for ransom.
He lamented the situation and criticized the government, arguing that these issues have become deeply rooted and that there appears to be no lasting solution in sight.
According to him “In Nigeria we have two governments. One is collecting tax, the other one is collecting ransom. Both of them have one thing in common which is to make life difficult for their people.
The one that is collecting tax without doing anything will come and share you rice and semolina. The one that is collecting ransom is doing giveaway on social media.”
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
