Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), the Comptroller-

cannot live within his or her
remuneration and involve in illicit
ways to acquire wealth.

some newly promoted officers of the
service in Abuja on Friday.

2,508 officers to various ranks and
appointed three as members of its
management.
The customs boss warned that no
officer in the service should live above
his or her earnings if they desire to
remain in service.
According to him, every officer could
survive within the remuneration
package of the service, if well
managed.
"I will show the way out to any officer
who thinks he can not survive with his
remuneration but involve in illicit
ways to acquire wealth.
I know the service gives you enough
that you can survive with, it is just a
question of prudence.
"You can never have everything you
that you desire to acquire

the time you do that, you will meet
your needs," he advised.

uphold the change mantra in the
service and be part of the reform beirng
carried out.
Mr David Chikan, Deputy Comptroller-
General who spoke on behalf of the
promoted officers thanked the
management for their elevations.
Chikan assured that they would justify
the confidence reposed in them.
