The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has disclosed the identity of the senior customs officer who passed away on Tuesday after collapsing

The Nigeria Customs Service has disclosed the identity of the senior customs officer who passed away on Tuesday after collapsing during a session of the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Representatives in Abuja.

Maiwada explained that Essien was overseeing revenue reconciliation for the service when he tragically passed away while making a presentation before the National Assembly House Committee on Public Accounts. “Deputy Comptroller Essien was born on the 16th of November 1967 and joined the Nigeria Customs Service on the 27th of November 1989 with over three decades of service to our nation. Hailing from Nsit-Ubium in Akwa Ibom State, he was known for his diligence and exceptional service record in the Accounts Unit. His role as the DC Revenue was pivotal in ensuring the accurate reconciliation of revenue, which he performed with utmost precision and dedication.

“The loss of such a dedicated and valued team member is deeply felt across the Service. We are committed to supporting and assisting his family and colleagues as they navigate this difficult period.”
