IWD: Celebrating women in Nigeria Customs Service
Nigeria’s seaports, airports, and land borders are protected by uniformed men, specifically officers and men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
In the midst of these officers are their female counterparts, playing a vital role in safeguarding the country’s economy, security, and natural resources.
As the world marks International Women’s Day, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) celebrates the strength, dedication, and expertise of its female officers, who are breaking barriers, defying stereotypes, and proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.
From border security to intelligence gathering and cargo inspection to leadership roles, these women are making their mark across all facets of the NCS.
While balancing career and family life remains a challenge, the leadership of the Service, under the Comptroller General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, has fostered an inclusive and supportive environment where female officers can thrive.
