The Nigeria Customs Service has sought the collaboration of journalists to strengthen revenue generation through the nation’s borders and safeguard points of entry from unwholesome commodities capable of threatening national security. The Service also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening media collaboration to enhance public awareness of Customs activities.
The National Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, Deputy Comptroller of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada, made the appeal at a media parley with journalists drawn from Kano, Kaduna, Jigawa and Katsina held at the Kano Area Command. The Deputy Comptroller spoke on “Building Synergy Between the Media and Customs for Enhanced Stakeholders’ Awareness and National Development.”
Maiwada emphasised the importance of strategic communication and institutional accountability in governance, stating that the media serves as a critical bridge between government institutions and the public, and that stakeholders rely on credible information to make informed decisions on trade and economic activities.
