The Western Marine Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has decorated 39 newly promoted officers of the command.
A statement by Mr Emmanuel Gangway, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, said the officers were promoted on merit.
The Customs Area Controller (CAC) in charge of the command, Controller Sarkin kebbi, who decorated the officers in Lagos, advised them to put in more efforts.
“You should see your promotion as a call to better service to the command and to the nation in general,” the CAC said.
Two officers of the command were promoted from the rank of Superintendent of Customs (AC) to Chief Superintendent of Customs (CSC), three to Deputy Superintendent of Customs (DSC), while one was to Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC111).
Others are Marine Inspectors of Customs (MICE) and Assistant Superintendent of Customs (ASC1).
Kebbi charged the officers to sit up and report any negative happenings in the creeks and other beats.
He reminded them that with the new ranks more was expected of them.
The CAC said the whole process of the promotion was transparent and based on merit.
Deputy Controller enforcement, Mr Adam Muhammed, advised the officers to justify their their promotion, saying some others that sat for the same promotion examination were not promoted.
The Customs Intelligent Unit (CIU) also asked for unity of purpose among the marine and general duty officers of the command for efficient operation.
