The Comptroller-General of Customs, Mr. Adewale Adeniyi, has charged younger officers of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to aspire towards global expertise in Post-Clearance Audit, describing it as a vital tool for modern customs administration and trade facilitation.
‎Mr. Adeniyi gave the charge at the conclusion of a five-day World Customs Organization (WCO) Accelerate Trade Facilitation Programme held at the NCS Headquarters in Abuja.
‎He noted that Post-Clearance Audit was one of the emerging tools developed by the WCO and urged young officers to align their career aspirations with international best practices by mastering the technique.
‎The Customs boss described the programme as insightful and transformative, explaining that participants were exposed to advanced audit tools and techniques capable of improving analytical capacity, operational efficiency and compliance monitoring.
‎According to him, the training provided officers with deeper understanding of modern audit practices, risk management and revenue protection, while also supporting trade facilitation and safeguarding national economic interests.
‎Mr. Adeniyi further reaffirmed the Nigeria Customs Service’s commitment to continuous reforms, collaboration with international partners and the deployment of modern tools to align the Service with global standards.
