Assistant Comptroller General of Customs, Nsikan Umoh
Assistant Comptroller General of Customs, Nsikan Umoh, has stressed that integrity and compliance remain critical to Nigeria’s economic growth and national development.
Speaking during a working visit to the Nigeria Customs Service Sokoto/Zamfara Area Command, she said, “National development requires all hands on deck.
When stakeholders comply with trade laws and Customs officers act with integrity, we reduce bottlenecks, promote non-oil exports, and strengthen our GDP.”
Umoh warned officers against any form of misconduct, noting that the actions of a few individuals could damage the public trust built by the Service over the years. She also underscored the importance of discipline in achieving ongoing reforms within the Customs Service.
According to her, “The Comptroller-General of Customs is driving reforms to modernize our operations and facilitate trade. But no reform succeeds without officers who are disciplined and committed to national interest.”
She urged personnel to be professional, fair and courteous to compliant traders while remaining firm against smugglers.
The visit also featured engagements with stakeholders and security agencies aimed at strengthening collaboration, trade facilitation and economic development.
