The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) says it has promoted over 100 officers to Assistant Superintendent of Quarantine I (ASQ I) as part of efforts to boost the morale of staff.
The Acting Comptroller General of the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) Dr. Godwin Audu disclosed this in his Maiden Meeting with Station and Zonal Coordinators held at the Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria’s Capital.
He noted that henceforth, Human Capital Development will be a priority and called on the staff to rededicate themselves to the task of repositioning the agency to better serve the country.
Dr. Audu urged the staff to adhere to the Act establishing the agency and also be conversant with International Standards as it will go a long way in promoting the ease of doing business.
He reminded staff of his administration’s open door policy which he believes would give room for innovative ideas that would contribute to the growth of the agency.
According to him, efforts are being made to adhere to the European Union (EU) requirements for exportation of products, stating that the development will no doubt avert imminent rejection of our products to EU Countries.
Dr. Audu also announced the establishment of the Operations and Enforcement Department within the agency, which he said will oversee seamless operations, minimize unnecessary seizures, and enforce seizure judiciously.
The NAQS boss stressed the importance of fostering stronger relationships with sister bodies and stakeholders, and urged Zonal and Station Coordinators to follow suit, emphasizing his belief in unity.
