Customs seeks army’s support on intelligence sharing
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Murtala Muhammed Airport Command (MMAC), has sought the Nigerian Army’s tactical support on intelligence sharing and capacity building to improve airport security.
In a statement on Sunday, the NCS said the military’s expertise in security and combat will augment the command’s tactical operations.
The acting customs area controller, Mahmood Mundi, sought the army’s tactical support during a familiarisation visit to the 9 Brigade, Nigerian Army, Ikeja, on Wednesday.
“I am paying you this visit now so you know that, from time to time, we might need your assistance when the need arises,” he said.
“Regarding disaster and emergency response, which we know you do for other agencies, we urge you to include us in your programmes,” he added.
Mr Mundi further stated that while learning is a continuous process, he hoped the ongoing synergy with the army would lead to strategic joint training of officers to achieve the expected results more effectively.
He added that the intended programme would be for not only those under his leadership but also customs officers across different formations.
