The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening inter-agency collaboration as part of efforts to tackle security challenges and enhance national stability.
The renewed commitment was made during a strategic meeting between the Comptroller-General of Customs, CGC Adewale Adeniyi, and the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, at the Nigeria Customs Service Headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.
Speaking during the engagement, CGC Adeniyi congratulated the Inspector-General of Police on his appointment and expressed confidence in his capacity to provide effective leadership for the Nigeria Police Force.
He stressed the importance of stronger cooperation among security agencies in addressing emerging security threats, protecting national interests and ensuring public safety across the country.
“The NCS stands with the NPF in these challenging times. We will continue to support efforts aimed at restoring peace and security across the country. Together, we can strengthen the safety and stability of our nation,” Adeniyi stated.
The Customs boss noted that sustained collaboration between both agencies would significantly improve intelligence sharing, operational efficiency and coordinated responses to security challenges confronting the nation.
In his remarks, IGP Olatunji Disu thanked CGC Adeniyi and the management of the Nigeria Customs Service for the warm reception, describing the visit as an opportunity to further deepen the longstanding partnership between the two organisations.
“The purpose of this visit is to deepen our relationship and reaffirm that you have a reliable partner in the NPF. Sustained collaboration among our personnel will enhance our collective efforts in addressing security challenges,” the IGP said.
The high-level engagement provided a platform for both agencies to discuss areas of mutual interest and explore strategies for enhancing cooperation in intelligence gathering, law enforcement operations and national security management.
The meeting further underscored the shared determination of the Nigeria Customs Service and the Nigeria Police Force to work closely in promoting peace, strengthening security architecture and supporting national development.
