The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has launched a pioneering initiative aimed at modernizing the process of benefits application for retired high-ranking officers. On Monday, 22nd April 2024, the NCS commenced a sensitization program for the enrollment of an automated retiree verification system.

This groundbreaking program, tailored specifically for retired Deputy Comptroller Generals (DCGs), Assistant Comptroller Generals (ACGs), and Comptrollers, marks a significant departure from traditional analogue methods. Designed to electronically verify retirees, the initiative seeks to streamline and enhance the efficiency of benefits processing.

Addressing the retired officers at the Customs Headquarters in Abuja, the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi, represented by Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs, Festus Okun, underscored the importance of the initiative. “Esteemed retirees, it is with great honor that I address you today on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi. This initiative to engage in a seamless verification exercise is timely and proof of the service’s commitment to ensuring your welfare and well-being after years of dedicated service to the Customs Service,” said Okun.

He further assured the retirees of a smooth verification process, highlighting the dedication of the NCS to transparency and accountability. “We understand the importance of this verification process in ensuring that you receive the benefits and entitlements you rightly deserve. Rest assured, we are dedicated to making this process as smooth and efficient as possible, with the utmost transparency and accountability,” he added.

During the verification exercise, retired officers expressed appreciation for the initiative, emphasizing its significance in streamlining access to benefits and entitlements. Their positive reception reaffirms the NCS’s commitment to serving retirees with care and diligence.

The launch of the automated retiree verification system marks a significant step forward in modernizing the Nigeria Customs Service, ensuring that retired officers receive the support and recognition they deserve for their years of dedicated service.
