Customs, Police Reinforce Inter-Agency Collaboration Through Strategic Engagement
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening inter-agency collaboration in strategic communication, public engagement, and information sharing.
The engagement occurred following a courtesy visit by the Force Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Anietie Okokon, to the National Public Relations Officer of the NCS, Deputy Comptroller (DC) of Customs, Abdullahi Maiwada, on Monday, 13 July 2026, at the Service Headquarters, Maitama, Abuja.
The visit, which formed part of the Force PRO’s familiarisation tour following his assumption of office, provided an opportunity for both institutions to deepen their longstanding relationship and explore avenues for enhanced cooperation in support of national security and effective institutional communication.
The engagement also coincided with the induction ceremony of 70 officers and men of the NCS Public Relations Unit into the Nigeria Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), further underscoring the growing emphasis on professionalism and ethical communication within public institutions.
In his remarks, the National Public Relations Officer of the NCS, DC Abdullahi Maiwada, expressed appreciation for the visit and commended the NPF for prioritising institutional partnerships among communication professionals within the public sector. He described the engagement as a reflection of the shared responsibility both institutions bear in shaping public perception, strengthening stakeholder confidence, and advancing government policies through strategic communication.
“The NCS values its longstanding relationship with the NPF. Today’s engagement presents another opportunity to strengthen professional collaboration between our Public Relations Units and collectively contribute towards building stronger institutions through effective communication and stakeholder engagement,” DC Maiwada stated.
Earlier, the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Okokon, noted that the NPF remains committed to fostering productive relationships with sister agencies, particularly in areas that strengthen public trust and institutional effectiveness. He explained that strategic communication has become indispensable in modern governance and security administration, making collaboration among public relations practitioners across government institutions both necessary and timely.
“This visit is aimed at further strengthening the cordial relationship between the NPF and the NCS, while enhancing collaboration in strategic communication, public engagement, and information sharing. As institutions serving the Nigerian people, we must continue to work together to promote professionalism, transparency, and effective communication in support of our national security objectives.” He concluded.
