One of the officers being decorated on the day.
Story by Dili Utomi.
In line with Service requirements and with the slew of promotions and decorations being witnessed presently within the Nigeria Customs Service, Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka and his team at the Tin Can Island Port Command on Friday decorated some of the officers that were promoted within the Command.
The CAC who was himself decorated in Abuja on Wednesday, the 22nd spoke before the officers filed out to be decorated. He said to the officers present at the occasion “those of us who have been promoted, congratulations, but for those who have not been promoted now, your day to shine and be promoted shall come. Promotion comes from God only”.

His words “The Comptroller-General of Customs and his team in their magnanimity have pledged that every officer under his watch shall be happy. As part of our mandate, we want to generate revenue without any kind of blemish and we also intend to engage everyone who will aid us in acheiving this objective and others too. I would therefore urge us all to continue to play our part, be more dedicated and committed to the principles that guide the Nigeria Customs Service and strive to acheive the mandates as enunciated in the extant laws of Nigeria”.

In a bid to meet with other matters contending with his time, the CAC asked his Deputy Comptroller Administration, Samuel Ariyibi to preside over the decoration activity while he attended to the teeming crowds of stakeholders waiting to see him aside other meetings scheduled for the day.
The DC admin personally performed the decoration of some officers as he started with the newly promoted Chief Supretendent of Customs and the staff officer of the Command, O A Olatunji.
Over 20 officers from the rank of Assistant Supretendent of Customs II to the Assistant Comptroller of Customs were decorated with some of the decorated officers coming to the occasion with families, friends and well wishers. The DC admin afterwards urged the decorated officers to continue to give their very best to the Service and the nation in general.
