The Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Services, Col. Hamid Ali (retd.), has yesterday read riot act to men and officers of Adamawa/Taraba Area Command adding that henceforth, indiscipline, corruption, bribery and other vices would be seriously punished.
Addressing stakeholders in Yola Ali noted that very soon, drug addicts, kidnappers and armed robbers would be fished out from the system.
He noted that the failure of the system to conduct background checks before recruitment was responsible for employing all manner of criminals in the system with its attendant consequences.
Ali noted that unlike in the past where background checks are conducted to verify the character of those to be employed, corruption and indiscipline has bastardized the process leading to the problems the service was contending with.
He noted that promotion in the service would henceforth be based on hard work , which must be acknowledged by the supervisor of employees unit noting that “survival in the Nigerian Customs Service would be through performance, “.
He noted that the NCS is seriously reviewing its laws to meet the dynamics of modern day customs operations and to curb leakages and wastages from the system.
The CG promised the officers of better working environment provided that they would tighten their belts to improve revenue generation noting that with the free fall of oil prices, the NCS would have to do much to compliment the revenue drive of the government.
Decrying the welfare of the officers, Ali promised to look into accommodation and other vital infrastructure of the employees with a view to boosting their morale.
Ali noted that henceforth, the service would make sure that transparency, integrity and honesty are its watch word noting that any officer that does not inculcate such values, would be shown the way out of the services.
