The Nigerian Customs Service has announced promotions for sixteen Deputy Comptroller-Generals, Assistant Comptroller-Generals, and 3,312 senior officers.
This was disclosed in a recent statement after the Nigeria Customs Service Board (NCSB) 63rd meeting, chaired by the country’s Minister of Finance, Wale Edun, on Tuesday.
In a similar move, NCS approved the promotion of 202 junior officers.
According to the statement, the appointment comes amid vacancies created by the recent retirement of some management members and merit-based career progression and recognition of outstanding performance in NCS.
The NCS statement showed that the elevated DCGs are AB Mohammed (North-West), GO Omale (North-Central), OC Orbih (South-South), and D Nnadi (South-East).
On the other hand, ACGs include MP Binga (North-East), CA Awo (South-East), AB Shuaibu (North-Central), AT Abe (North-West), K Mohammed (North-West), B Mohammed (North-West), TM Daniyan (North-Central), B Oramalugo (South-East), OP Olaniyan (South-West), B Olomu (South-West), IK Oladeji (South-West), and CC Dim (South-East).
In a related development, Edun said the National Single Window project implementation will significantly transform trade facilitation in Nigeria and reinforce the stabilisation of the economy.
“The revenue being generated feeds directly into the Federation Account and supports the budget of all tiers of government. With the Single Window initiative fully operational, we expect even greater efficiency and higher returns.”
DAILY POST reports that the Nigeria Customs Service collected N3.68 trillion in revenue in the first six months of 2025, surpassing projections by 11.85 per cent and reflecting a 25 per cent rise compared to the same period in 2024.
