The Nigeria Customs Service has appointed Comptroller Wale Adenuga as the new Area Controller for the Seme Command.
He took over as a result of the redeployment of Dr. Benedict Oramalugo, who was recently promoted to Assistant Comptroller General.
The development was announced in a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, CSC Isah Sulaiman, on Tuesday in Lagos.
During the official handover ceremony, Comptroller Adenuga commended his predecessor for the solid foundation laid and pledged to focus his leadership on trade facilitation, enhanced security collaboration, and improved stakeholders engagement.
Adenuga also assured that the Command would intensify collaboration with key government agencies including the DSS, Police, Immigration, NDLEA, NAFDAC, and the military to strengthen border security and foster a more conducive environment for legitimate trade.
He emphasized the importance of stakeholder relationships, pledging open lines of communication with traditional leaders, youth groups in Badagry, and the media.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to discipline and professionalism within the service.
Adenuga praised CGC Adewale Adeniyi, who also serves as the President of the World Customs Organisation Council, describing him as an exemplary leader whose standards will guide the Seme Command’s operations.
