The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting President Bola Tinubu’s food security initiative by streamlining processes for the swift importation of food items.
Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, made this known at the launch of a book, “Impactful Public Relations in Customs Management,” authored by Image Merchants Promotion Limited.
The book highlights the CGC’s progressive public relations strategies, aiming to reduce costs and lower consumer prices.
Adeniyi emphasized the NCS’s strong commitment to addressing food security challenges through targeted measures to intensify agricultural production.
The Federal Government has taken bold steps to address high food prices by removing tariffs and import duties on key staples for six months.
The CGC noted the vital role of Customs as the gatekeeper of Nigeria’s international trade, emphasizing the need to streamline processes to secure the nation’s food supply and support agricultural production.
The book launch coincided with the 2nd Economic Confidential Annual Lecture, where Adeniyi stressed the importance of leveraging effective communication for revenue generation and economic development.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, represented by Tope Fasua, applauded Image Merchants Promotion Limited for their consistency in research and investigative journalism.
The event was attended by distinguished guests, including members of the NCS Management Team, public relations stakeholders, and industry experts.
