The CGC made this known during the commissioning of Nasarawa State Technology Village Phase 1, at Aso Pada in Maraba- Nasarawa State.
The CGC, who was represented by Deputy Comptroller General of Customs, Festus Okun, emphasised the Service commitment to officers welfare, citing acquisition of houses as a testament to that dedication.
He informed that the commissioned houses would be allocated to officers, underscoring the importance of providing shelter to personnel in service to the nation.
He expressed gratitude to Nasarawa State government, the people and project promoters for their support, pledging greater collaboration to ensure the success of the project.
