Recognizing the infrastructure, commitment, and passion of Dorian Home, the Acting CG stated, “We’ve seen that this place has the capacity for almost a thousand children. They need to be fed, clothed, and provided with medicines. Therefore, periodically, we will be looking into our stores and providing items that can assist them in achieving their objectives.”
Continuing his visit to zone ‘A’, the Customs Boss also visited the Ondo/Ekiti Area Command. During his visit, he commissioned and inspected newly renovated residential accommodations for officers and personnel of the command. Addressing the officers and personnel, the Acting CG emphasized the need for diligence in operations and proper documentation to ensure that export products meet international standards.
“You have a role in ensuring that the products shipped out of this place meet international standards,” he remarked. “Be diligent, avoid any delays in the processes, complete documentation in a timely manner, and prevent the products from spoiling before they are shipped out of the country.”
Furthermore, the Ag.CG of NCS paid a visit to the palace of His Imperial Majesty, Oba Alade Toyinbo Ogunlade Aladelusi CFR, the Deji and Paramount Ruler of Akure. During the visit, he pledged his loyalty and commitment to the NCS, affirming their responsible role as a government agency.
“Customs will continue to be a responsible government agency, respecting the laws of the land and maintaining good relationships wherever we operate,” he assured. The paramount ruler expressed gratitude for the Ag. CGC’s visit and offered prayers for a successful tenure.
