The Nigeria Customs Service has announced the appointment of Comptroller Adebola Salawu as the new head of its Lagos Industrial Area Command.
Salawu succeeds Comptroller Sarah Wadinda, who retired recently after years of service.
The announcement was made on the Service’s official X handle, @CustomsNG, on Saturday.
The handover ceremony, held at the Command’s headquarters in Festac Town, was confirmed in a statement issued on Monday by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Customs Juliana Tomo.
According to the statement, Wadinda retired after a distinguished career and was recognised for her leadership and corporate social responsibility initiatives, including the Customs Cares project at Festac Senior Grammar School.
Under her watch, the school received a water treatment plant, an e-library, a photocopier, and refurbished toilet facilities.
“The success of this project was made possible through the collaboration and support of stakeholders,” Tomo noted.
