As part of the six point agenda of the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Alhaji Dikko Inde Abdullahi,
The Nigeria Customs Service yesterday commissioned an ultra-modern health centre at its training college in Ikeja, Lagos.
Apart from catering for customs officers, the service also vowed that in pursuance of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the clinic will be opened to the immediate communities around Ikeja, Lagos.
The medical centre has a nurse station, medical stores, private wards, procedure room, toilets, theatre, pharmacy laboratory as well as male and female ward.
Other facilities includ: haemocentrifuge, haemo analyzer, microscope, ceito machine, height and blood pressure facilities.
Apart from this, the medical centre also has an ambulance, oxygen for patients, offices for doctors, and pharmacy centre.
While commissioning the facility yesterday in Lagos, Assistant Comptroller General of Customs in charge of Zone 'A', Victor Gbemudu pointed out that the facility is similar to the one established by the service in Karu, Abuja.
He assured that there are competent doctors and nurses already stationed at the facility, even as he assured that the centre will be running 24 hours in a day.
"For today, we are not talking revenue alone, we are also talking healthcare and bridging the gap by bringing healthcare to the citizenry"
"Principally this is supposed to be a custom clinic, but in keeping with the corporate social responsibility of the service, we are opening our doors to neighboring communities who can come and benefit from the facilities provided", he assured.
"As time goes on, we will be able to know how many staff we need in order to cope with the pressure, I know there will be an upsurge and people will want to benefit from the facility and we are ready to meet those challenges" Gbemudu stated.
