The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi has made an unexpected visit to the ongoing construction site of officers’ residential accommodation at the Karu Customs Barracks in Abuja.
Adeniyi’s surprise visit last weekend followed the commissioning of the COWA Skills Acquisition Centre and was aimed at assessing the progress of the construction work and ensuring it adhered to the scheduled timelines. He also took the opportunity to inspect the quality of the work.
The CGC was accompanied by the Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs in charge of Headquarters, ACG Isah Umar, ACG Baba Imama, the Secretary of Nigeria Customs Service Board, and other senior officers.
The inspection tour began with a visit to the first block of the construction project, located next to the Nigeria Customs Hospital in Karu. Adeniyi also inspected the development and maintenance of the Customs health facility.
During the visit to the Customs Hospital also in Karu, the Customs boss expressed concerns about the health facility and reiterated the commitment of Management under his leadership to make the hospital more viable, citing the critical role of the facility to not only Customs Officers but the entire Karu community and its environs.
