Urges Customs Personnel to Elevate Community Spirit

The Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, has called on officers and stakeholders to embrace the spirit of service, discipline, and charity as essential values during the holy month of Ramadan and beyond.

Speaking  during the grand Iftar organised by Trade Modernisation Project (TMP) Limited held at the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.

The event, attended by hundreds of senior and junior officers and stakeholders from various organisations, provided a platform for reflecting on Ramadan’s lessons and the importance of giving back to the community.

The CGC Adeniyi underscored the significance of piety, self-discipline, and devotion, noting that fasting offers an opportunity to develop a more profound sense of empathy for the less privileged.

His words “Charity teaches us to care for the less privileged. Beyond personal devotion and the discipline we cultivate during this period, fasting allows us to experience, even if briefly, what those who cannot afford to eat go through daily,” he said.

The Customs boss also highlighted the unique spiritual alignment between Ramadan and Lent, stating that the simultaneous observance of both fasting periods by Muslims and Christians presents a unified experience of sacrifice and reflection.

“For the second or third time in a row, we are witnessing Ramadan running simultaneously with the Lent period. What this means is that, at one time, all of us are experiencing the discipline of giving up food and drink, helping us understand the struggles of those who lack basic needs. Therefore, this is a period to think about our communities and obligations to those around us,” CGC Adeniyi noted.

He linked this principle of selflessness and service to the Nigeria Customs Service’s new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, “Customs Cares,” which focuses on community development, education, healthcare, and social investments.

“What we are doing today is a stepping stone for what we have chosen to do — the launch of our Corporate Social Responsibility programme. In the true spirit of Ramadan and Lent, I urge all of us to embrace service to humanity as a guiding principle, as it epitomises who we are as an organisation,” he added.

Reinforcing the Customs Service’s dual mandate of national duty and social responsibility, Adeniyi reminded officers that their commitment to public service extends beyond revenue collection and border security to uplift the communities in which they operate.

“We are described as a Service—the Nigeria Customs Service. Our duty goes beyond enforcing trade laws; we also have an obligation to serve our community. Let us embody this spirit not only during Ramadan and Lent but as a defining part of our daily work,” he urged.

He expressed his gratitude to the Chairman TMP and his team for organising the event and commended the serene atmosphere created for the Iftar.

The CGC prayed for divine blessings, peace, and prosperity for Nigeria and wished all officers and stakeholders to witness many more Ramadan seasons in good health.

“May Almighty Allah grant us the opportunity to witness many more Ramadan seasons in our lives. We pray for a better Nigeria and that our acts of service will contribute to a more compassionate and united nation,” he concluded.
