Nigerian Custom is a uniform adorning establishment and or force just like Nigeria Police, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigerian Navy.

The obligation to wear uniform is not only on the junior officers but rather cut across to all cadres; from the lowest to the leadership.

It is in consonant with this you will see all other heads of our Armed Forces adorning their uniforms; the Inspector General of Police, The Admiral and Admiral of the Fleet of Navy, Army Generals (Brigadier, Major, Lieutenant), The Air Chief Marshal and Marshal of the Air force.

Furthermore, the appointees of this forces follow suit in wearing uniforms of the entity they represent. Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Air Staff and Chief of Naval Staff.

Hence, why is the Controller General of the Custom be different during his own tenure?

He should be aware he is not representing Niger Delta Avengers, Odua People's Congress, Fulani Herdsmen and the likes with no uniform.

Also, his defiance will only send the wrong message to those he leads.

Regardless, his beggar is a no chooser, respect and dignity is what the uniform depicts.
