The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has honoured the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) with Excellence in Professional Compliance Award (Corporate Category) in recognition of its steadfast commitment to professional communication standards and institutional transparency.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com noted that NCS received the award during the 2025 Nigeria Public Relations Week (NPRW) held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, last week.
‘It reflects the Customs Service’s strategic drive toward effective public engagement, stakeholder inclusion, and image repositioning under the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi’s leadership’ the statement said.
The Governing Council of the NIPR, the statement added, also honoured CGC Adeniyi with two distinguished awards; the Diamond Lifetime Award for his sustained contribution to the advancement of public relations ideals and the betterment of humanity and the Diamond Prize for Exceptional Performance in Public Office, in appreciation of his visionary leadership and transformative communication efforts in the NCS.
National Public Relations Officer, NCS, Mr. Abdullahi Maiwada, an Assistant Comptroller of Customs, who received the awards on behalf of the Comptroller-General and the NCS, expressed gratitude to the NIPR for the honour, noting that it is a strong validation of the deliberate communication reforms by the NCS and the CGC’s visionary leadership.
