Attah assumes office as Controller Kebbi Customs command

The newly appointed Controller, Kebbi Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, Comptroller Joseph Attah, on Monday officially assumed duty after taking over the reign of the command from his predecessor, Comptroller Hafiz Kalla.

At a ceremony held in the Command Headquarters in Birnin Kebbi, the new Area Controller harped on the need for officers and men of the Command to ensure strict compliance to Government fiscal policy on imports and exports of goods.

In a statement signed by the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSC Nasiru Manga, Attah specifically mentioned foreign parboiled rice and petroleum product as some of the items that the Command’s officers and men need to keep watchful eyes on to ensure they are not smuggled into or out of the country.

He reminded the officers that the land borders in the Command are still officially closed.

Comptroller Attah also promised a robust stakeholder engagement with relevant stakeholders in Kebbi State to engender a culture of voluntary compliance.

He charged the operatives to avoid conducts that are unbecoming of officers and capable of causing friction between the Service and members of the community.

Comptroller Attah urged them to be disciplined and cooperate with him as he promised to be a team player with fairness and justice to everybody.

Earlier, Comptroller Kalla while congratulating the new Area Controller on his new appointment, urged officers and men of the Command to extend same support and cooperation they accorded him to the new Controller.
