This assurance was given through a press release signed by the Assistant Superintendent of Customs, I Abdulmalik Akintola, the acting Public Relations Officer of the command, on Thursday, February 5, 2026, when a delegation from International Breweries Plc, Ilesha, paid a courtesy visit to the Operational Headquarters of the Command to strengthen existing cooperation between the excise factory and the Service.
Receiving the delegation, the Acting Customs Area Controller, Deputy Comptroller of Customs (DCC) Wale Moses Adewole, described the visit as a clear demonstration of International Breweries’ dedication to institutional partnership. He identified the company as a critical stakeholder of the NCS and commended its consistent compliance with provisions of the Nigeria Customs Service Act governing excise operations.
Adewole stressed that sustained synergy between the Service and excise factories remains central to the achievement of Customs’ core mandates, particularly in trade facilitation, regulatory compliance and revenue generation. He urged the company to maintain the level of cooperation extended to previous administrations, while assuring of the Command’s readiness to provide a transparent, efficient and conducive operating environment that supports mutual growth.
Speaking on behalf of the delegation, the Operational Manager of International Breweries Plc, Ilesha, Mr. Emmanuel Onabanjo, expressed appreciation for the warm reception accorded to his team. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustaining a strong and productive relationship with the Service, pledging full compliance with all statutory requirements.
