The Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, has called on officers and stakeholders to embody the spirit of service, discipline, and charity during the holy month of Ramadan and beyond.
Speaking at a grand Iftar event organized by Trade Modernisation Project (TMP) Limited at the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Headquarters in Abuja, Adeniyi emphasized the importance of piety, self-discipline, and devotion during Ramadan.
Adeniyi noted that fasting offers an opportunity to develop empathy for the less privileged and that charity teaches us to care for those in need.
He also highlighted the unique spiritual alignment between Ramadan and Lent, stating that the simultaneous observance of both fasting periods presents a unified experience of sacrifice and reflection.
The Customs boss linked this principle of selflessness and service to the Nigeria Customs Service’s new Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, “Customs Cares,” which focuses on community development, education, healthcare, and social investments.
He urged officers to embody the spirit of service not only during Ramadan and Lent but as a defining part of their daily work.
Adeniyi expressed gratitude to the Chairman of TMP, Saleh Ahmadu, and his team for organizing the event and commended the serene atmosphere created for the Iftar.
He prayed for divine blessings, peace, and prosperity for Nigeria and wished all officers and stakeholders to witness many more Ramadan seasons in good health.
