The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has created a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Unit to strengthen its dedication to national development and promote inclusive growth and sustained influence in communities of operations.
Thank you for visiting The Vestigator, don't forget to share!
This program demonstrates the Service’s understanding of its wider role, which extends beyond border security, revenue generation, and trade facilitation. Programs under the “Customs -Cares” initiative, which supports both the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national development priorities, will be led by the recently formed CSR Unit.
Renovating schools, setting up mobile clinics, providing food and medical assistance, supporting agriculture, developing skills, and empowering young people are some of these projects. The NCS aims to promote community ties, boost public trust, and raise Nigerians’ standard of living through these calculated actions.
The Service is prepared to collaborate closely with other government agencies, non-governmental organisations, commercial sector partners, and local communities to improve the success of this project since it understands how important teamwork is to completing this endeavour. With planned initiatives to be put in place around the country, the launch signifies the start of a sustained commitment to corporate social responsibility.
The NCS is still committed to incorporating social responsibility into its fundamental functions, led by Comptroller-General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR. This strategic orientation strengthens the Service’s position as a socially conscious organisation and is in line with the Presidential Priority Areas.
The Service will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s renewed hope program through Customs Cares, enhancing personnel involvement in nation-building initiatives and community engagement. In order to promote good change, the NCS urges officers, stakeholders, and the public at large to support the Customs-Cares campaign. Together, the Service hopes to develop long-lasting solutions that enhance livelihoods and uplift communities.
The NCS will keep working with pertinent partners as the initiative progresses in order to broaden its scope and optimise its influence throughout the nation. ABDULLAHI MAIWADA National Public Relations Officer for the Comptroller-General of Customs, Assistant Comptroller of Customs, 13 March 2025
