A delegation from the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College (NCCSC), Gwagwalada, has embarked on a study visit to São Paulo, Brazil, to learn from Brazil's customs operations and apply the lessons to training Nigeria Customs Officers.
The Commandant of the college, Assistant Comptroller-General of Customs Dow Gaura, led the delegation, accompanied by the Deputy Commandant, the Director of Studies, Comptroller of Customs Hannel Hadison and other members of the college's Directing and Administrative Staff
The visit is intended to give the team international operational exposure that can be translated into practical capabilities for the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
Speaking on the purpose of the visit, ACG Gaura said the engagement is built on partnership among customs administrations worldwide.
"The emphasis is on synergy, on cooperation, and on building blocks among world customs organisations that will safeguard the global customs network," he said. "With an intelligence-driven and professional culture in customs, no one anywhere in the world will be able to penetrate our systems." He added.
According to the programme outline, participants will study how Brazilian Customs operates and distil lessons relevant to Nigeria. They will integrate those lessons into the college's curricula and establish measurable benchmarks to verify successful application in practice.
The NCCSC is the apex training institution of the NCS. It develops leadership, operational expertise, and modern administrative competencies across all cadres of customs officers.
