BRIEF HISTORY OF NIGERIA CUSTOMS SERVICE
What is now known as the Nigeria Customs Service – a paramilitary organisation, could be said to
have been established a little over a century ago when the British Colonial administration appointed
Mr. T. A. Wall, in 1891, as the Director-General of Customs for the collection of inland Revenue in
Niger Coast Protectorate. This is the formalization of the duties which the Department had been
performing under the Royal Niger Company under the leadership of the past Chief Executives.
The name Department of Customs and Excise emerged in 1922 when the first Comptroller of Customs
and Excise, Federation of Nigeria was appointed. Towards the end of 1945, the Customs and Excise
Preventive service was established under the leadership of Mr. Nicol – a Briton. This was made up of
two divisions – Maritime and Preventive. The maritime Division has the responsibility of collecting
import and excise duties and other related functions while the Preventive Division was responsible for
enforcement duties which included prevention of smuggling as well as arrest and prosecution of
smugglers.
Sequel to the promulgation of the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) No. 55 of 1958 the
affairs of the Department were brought under the management of a Board. The Chairman of the Board
of Customs and Excise was made the Chief Executive Officer of the Department. Mr. E. P. C. Langdon,
a Briton, was appointed the first Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 1959. Mr. S. G. Quinton
succeeded him.
The attainment of independence in 1960 led to the Federal Government’s Nigerianisation policy which
brought about the appointment of the first Nigerian Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
in the person of Mr. Ayodele Diyan in 1964. He died in 1968 and was succeeded by Mr. Henny Etim
Duke.
Decree No. 7 of 1970 granted additional powers with the definition of the membership of the Board.
Additional members were now to represent the Federal Ministries of Economic Development and
Reconstruction, trade and Industries. The intention of this decree was to broaden the scope of the
national interest which will make for better guidance in the Board’s decisions.
With the change of government in 1975 the three top management personnel were retired from the
public service and the post of Chairman of the Board was abolished and replaced with that of Director.
By virtue of Decree No. 41 of 28th August 1975, all the powers that were hitherto conferred on the
Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Board were vested in the Director of Customs and Excise and
his deputies.
Alhaji Shehu A. Musa, was on 28th August, 1975 appointed the first Director of the Department of
Customs and Excise. His tenure was brief as he had the mandate only to reorganize the Board and
Department of Customs and Excise. His proposals, which were breathtaking in depth and scope, were
submitted within six months of his appointment.
Hitherto, the Department was operating as two parallel Services – Revenue (Technical) and Preventive
(Enforcement). This parallel method of running the two services created serious conflicts and immense
administrative problems. This seriously affected the overall efficiency and attitude of officers and men
with the attendant negative impact on the image of the Department.
Thus on the 1st April, 1977 the first major reorganisation of the department took place. The present
unified service of the Department of Customs and Excise was the result. Precisely this means unifying
the Technical and Preventive Services into one integrated service where officers and men are to serve
in any of the two without hindrance. The unification structured the Department into five main
Directorates viz:

o Customs Tariff and Trade
o Customs Enforcement Directorate
o Customs Investigation Directorate
o Customs Inspection Directorate and
o Customs Economic relations, Research; and Planning Directorate
Each Directorate was headed by a Deputy Director. The overall head was still the Director, Department
of Customs and Excise and Chairman, Board of Customs and Excise. In addition, there were four
divisions whose headship was drawn from the pool of the Public Service. These were Administrative,
Legal; Finance/Accounts and Internal Audit. Mr. Oyebode Oyeleye was the first Director under this
new arrangement.
The year 1985 witnessed yet another major structural change as the Department was removed from the
Federal Ministry of Finance to Internal Affairs. This was sequel to government’s acceptance of the
recommendations of the Study Group on Customs and Smuggling which was headed by Alhaji Yahaya
Gusau. Thus, the Customs, Immigration and Prisons Services Board (CIPB) was created with the
promulgation of Decree No. 14 of 11th January 1986.
This decree abolished the Board of Customs and Excise with this new Board taking over it’s functions
and in addition absorbed the functions of the Federal Public Service Commission with regard to
appointment, promotion and disciplinary control over staff of the Department.
The Honourable Minister of Federal Ministry of Internal affairs became the Chairman of the CIPB
with the Director of Customs and his counterparts in immigration and Prisons Departments as
members. Alhaji Abubakar Musa was the first director under this arrangement.
The CIPB embark upon an extensive re-organisation programme for the three Services in the Federal
Ministry of internal Affairs–Customs, Immigration and Prisons. The most significant structural
changes that gave birth to the present day Customs and Excise department took place on 16th February
1988 with the upgrading of the post of Director of Customs and excise from salary grade level 16 to
salary grade level 17, the Deputy Director post was increased in number by one i.e. from five to six
and the post up-graded from grade level 15 to 16. The functions of the Department were Assistant
Directors was created on salary grade level 15. The functions of the Department were decentralised
through Zonal commands to facilitate decision making process. Zonal Coordinators are to be in charge
of the Zones while those in charge of states are to be known as Area Controllers. Dr. Bello Haliru
Mohammed was the first Comptroller General under this arrangement.
In 1992 the Department of Customs and Excise was transferred back to the Federal Ministry of Finance
and in addition its status as a para-military organisation was recognised. It has since been known as
Nigeria Customs Service. There was an appropriate alignment of salary grade levels and a re-
structuring with what obtains in the Nigeria Police Force.
With the change in Government on November 1993, the Federal Governmet set up the Major-General
Paul Tarfa Panel to probe the activities of the Nigeria Customs Service. The Panel was given one year
to conduct the probe and in the meantime a Sole Administrator in the person of Brigadier – General
(later Major–General) S. O. G. Ango was appointed. However, he was in charge of the service until
4th Feb. 1999 when the Federal Government announced the appointment of Ahmed Aliyu Mustapha
(OFR) a career Customs officer as the substantive Comptroller-General of Customs.
Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu Mustapha (OFR) assumed duties as the Comptroller-General of Customs on 4th
February, 1999. Before then, he was the ACG (FATS) and later the Zonal Coordinator, Zone “C”,
Bauchi.
A new board headed by the Honourable minister of Finance was also re constituted. The Comptroller-
General was assisted by 6 Deputy-Comptrollers-General, heading the Departments viz:

o Finance, Administration and Technical Services
o Tariff and Trade
o Excise and industrial incentives
o Enforcement and drugs
o Economic Relating Research and planning
o Investigation and Inspection
The 6-zonal Administrative structure was also retained. Following the retirement of Ahmed Aliyu
Mustapha as Controller-General of Customs on 31st December 2003, the Federal Government of
Nigeria set up a Reform Committee headed by the Honourable Minister of state for finance, Mrs.
Nenadi Esther Usman. The Committee recommended a fundamental re-structure of the Service to re-
position it to meet increasing challenges. in the meantime, D A Ogungbemile, a Deputy Controller-
General acted as Controller- General.
Consequent up on the acceptance of the Committee’s report, sweeping reforms were implemented
including:

o The appointment of Jacob Gyang Buba as Comptroller-General, and the Constitution of a new
management team
o The Retirement of 75 senior officers of the rank of Comptroller of Customs, Assistant-Comptrollers-
General and Deputy-Comptrollers-General
o The restructuring of the service into 3 departments, each headed by a Deputy Comptroller- General
viz:
 Corporate Service & Economic Relations
 Tariff and Trade, and
 Enforcement, Investigation and Inspection
The Committee Found that the former structure was defective, requiring re-organisation to give the
service better focus and direction. There was no economic justification for the existing 6 zonal
structure. lt was therefore abrogated and replaced with only 4 zones, under which there were a total of
only 25 Area Commands.
On 27th May 2008, Jacob Gyang Buba disengaged from Service and in his place Hamman Bello
Ahmed, a serving Assistant Comptroller-General was appointed as the Comptroller-General. He retired
from Service on 15th January 2009, Dr. Bernard-Shaw Nwadialo, a Deputy Comptroller-General was
appointed first in acting capacity, and subsequently confirmed in March 2009.
He in turn disengaged from Service on 17th August 2009, paving the way for the emergence of an
Assistant Comptroller-General, Dikko Inde Abdullahi, who was appointed to replace him. Under
Abdullahi, approval was given for a minor adjustment to the Service structure with the creation of an
additional department, Human Resource, to be headed by a Deputy Comptroller-General. A new
Command and Staff College, designated as a World Customs Organisation (WCO) Regional Training
Centre, was established in Gwagwalada, Abuja to bridge skills gap in readiness of take-over of the
Destination Inspection programme outsourced to Foreign Service Providers.
History was made on the 30th November 2013, when the Comptroller-General, Dikko Inde Abdullahi
launched the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR), signaling the official takeover of the scheme by
the Nigeria Customs Service.
