The 28 newly-promoted personnel the Enugu/Anambra/Ebonyi Command of the  Nigeria Customs Service have been urged to follow the visionary leadership of the  Comptroller-General (C-G) of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi, as it concerns his robust plans and transformative ideologies aimed at repositioning the Service.

The charge was given by the Customs Area Controller for Enugu/Anambra/Ebonyi Command, Comptroller Comfort Ukpanah, while decorating the newly-promoted personnel in Enugu on Tuesday.

The newly-decorated personnel included: 15 officers and 13 men of the Service.

Ukpanah told the officers and men to always reflect on the mission and vision of the Comptroller-General (C-G) of Customs.

She recalled that the C-G of Customs, on assumption of office, had categorically highlighted his commitment at creating an enabling environment for capacity building for career progression, which will ultimately motivate the workforce.

She noted that the assumption of office of the C-G signaled a new dawn in the leadership style as promotion has become a regular feature in the Nigeria Customs Service, as against what was obtainable before his emergence.

The comptroller noted that promotion and elevation comes with obligations and responsibilities, adding that the newly-promoted should see their new ranks as opportunity to demonstrate capacity and competence in their service to the Nation.

According to her, “you have been selected and found worthy after a rigorous process and it therefore expected of you to justify the confidence reposed in you by the C-G of Customs and his Management Team.

"I urge you to have at the back of your mind that true success is not measured by personal achievements but by the legacy, support and mentorship left behind.

"I, therefore, urge you to mentor your subordinate through the new roles that will be assigned to you with your new ranks, in line with the mantra of the C-G of Customs and his management," he said.

Responding, an Assistant Controller of Customs, Pascal Igwe, one of newly-decorated, appreciated God as well as the C-G of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and his management team for the promotion and uplift to a new rank.

Igwe, who spoke on behalf of other promoted and decorated personnel, assured the C-G of Customs and the Comptroller that "we are aware of the responsibility before us and we will redouble our dedication to achieve more."
