"I am delighted by the opportunity given to us by the Almighty Allah and the Comptroller General to be here, and I pray that God will guide us through our tenure," was the passionate appeal made by Comptroller Mohammed Salisu Shuaibu, the new Customs Area
Controller of Federal Operations Unit, Zone 'A' Ikeja during the handing over ceremony at the command's headquarters on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. The deployment of Comptroller Shuaibu who is the 28th customs Area Controller of the unit did not come as a surprising going by his recent exploits at his last place of operations, Ogun 1 command. He is no doubt the
leading anti smuggling czar in customs operations in the nation today. Comptroller Shuaibu has a masters degree in environmental studies and also undertaking his doctoral degree. He hails from Lafia, in Nassarawa state. His antecedent as an interventionist operator started way back as the second in command to retired Comptroller Kirawa at CG Strikeforce. WIth the dwendling fortunes in the operations of FOU, Zone A lately under the leadership of Comptroller Oladeji, it is very imperative that the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR had to put the right peg in the right hole. There were reports of Nigerian Airforce and Nigerian Navy making seizures of rice on land for the Federal Operations Unit. It was on this note that the appointment of Comproller Shuaibu was welcomed with jubilation among the officers who are always ready to perform. While taking over from Comptroller Oladeji, the erstwhile head of the Unit, told the officers that they have an opportunity as given to them by the Comptroller General of Customs to make a difference and contribute their own quota towards prosecuting the war against smuggling. Knowing the challenge facing the command, Comptroller Shuaibu challenged the
officers of the enormous work ahead, by asking them, "What do we do henceforth, the workload ahead needs our co-operation and support"
