New NCS CSR Unit’ll Drive FG’s National Dev’t Priorities—Rep Abejide
The Chairman House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise Hon Leke Abejide has described the official launch of the “Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) Programme 2025” as an initiative designed to further drive Nigeria Customs Service’s commitment to national development, which aligned with the Federal Government’s set of priorities under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Abejide made this known in Abuja yesterday during the launch of the programme by the NCS.
According to the lawmaker representing Yagba Federal Constituency, Kogi State, the initiative underscored the service’s recognition of its broader responsibility beyond trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security, while also serving as “a strategic forum to amplify collective impact in addressing pressing issues of national development and showcase collaborative approaches to Corporate Social Responsibility”.
He added that the newly established CSR Unit is one of the spearhead programmes under the “Customs-Cares” initiative, designed to support national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“These initiatives are designed to positively impact communities where NCS operates, support national development and strengthen bond with the Nigerian people to address critical areas of Education, Health, Food Security, Social Investment and Creative Economy through capacity building”, he said.
Abejide commended the initiatives and brilliant ideas of the Comptroller General of Customs (CGC) Bashir Adewale Adeniyi and his team.
