The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ogun 1 Area Command, has vowed to make the state uncomfortable for smugglers.
The new Customs Commander, Comptroller Ahmadu Shaibu, made the vow during a hand over ceremony held at the Command’s headquarters in Idiroko, Ogun State, on Monday, September 18, 2023.
Shaibu took over from Comptroller Bamidele Makinde who was deployed to NCS Headquarters in Abuja.
The new NCS boss assured stakeholders of an open-door policy and urged them to give useful information that could help to combat the activities of smugglers in the state.

He said: “I want to use this medium to assure the business community and our critical stakeholders that the administration would operate an open door policy and strengthen the existing relationship.
“However, let me also warn smugglers and their accomplices that their nefarious activities would not be condoned and anyone caught in the act shall face the wrath of the law.”
Makinde, in his remarks, said his administration recorded remarkable achievements and made giant strides in revenue generation to the tune of N6.6 billion.
