  • Reward for diligence

    Comptroller in charge of Federal Operations Unit (FOU), Owerri Zone C of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mohammed Biu, has been given an award by the International Merit Organisation (IMO) based in Geneva, Switzerland. OKODILI NDIDI reports.

    The International Merit Organisation, South Africa has honoured the Comptroller in charge of Federal Operations Unit (FUO), Owerri Zone C, of the Nigeria Customs, Mohammed Biu with a merit award.

    The award, in recognition of the unprecedented achievements of the Custom boss in the fight against smuggling in the 11 Southsouth and Southeastern states under the zone, was presented at the headquarters of the FOU Zone C at the Federal Secretariat.

    It was a brief but well-attended ceremony. Customs officers were decked in their full regalia.

    On the award, the country representative of the organisation and the editor of the Global Newsreel magazine, Mr Tony Nzekwe, said the organiser’s choice of Biu as the recipient of the 2012 annual award of the International Merit Organisation (IMO), was influenced by his unprecedented achievements in the fight against smuggling in states within his jurisdiction and for his professional conduct in the discharge of his duty.

    Nzekwe said the annual award is given to outstanding individuals who have made remarkable contributions in their respective professions.

    He said: “In the history of the FOU Owerri Zone C, no one has recorded the feat achieved by Biu in the last six months and it is the belief of this organisation that the award will spur him and his men to do more in safe guarding the country’s borders against the illicit smuggling racket.”

    Highlighting the criteria for the conferment of the award, Nzekwe said Biu, through his professionalism and commitment to his job, has stood out among many others shortlisted for the 2012 edition of the merit award.

    “The process of the emergence of the award recipients, is a thorough and transparent procedure that puts into consideration the achievements, commitment and vision of the candidates before any of them is finally shortlisted.”

    Receiving the award, which he dedicated to the Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs, Abdullahi Dikko Inde, Biu said the gesture would motivate the zone to work harder to rid the country of contraband.

    “After my assumption as the Comptroller of the Federal Operations Unit ,Owerri, Zone C, with the assistance of my lieutenants, we were able to reduce the rate of smuggling to the barest minimum.”

    The elated Customs boss, who has won several other awards since assumption of office as the helmsman of the zone, however, charged the media to assist his officers in the anti-smuggling campaign.

    Congratulating the Comptroller, the Deputy Comptroller in charge of Administration and Revenue, Anthony Mba, thanked the organisation for recognising the contributions of the zone in its effort to stem smuggling in the country.

    He affirmed positivity that the sterling leadership qualities of the Comptroller will galvanise the officers in the zone into action, assuring that the officers will not rest on their oars until the smugglers were stopped.
