President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, unveiled the newly-built N19.6 billion Nigeria Customs Service corporate headquarters in Abuja.
The project, which was commissioned on Tuesday, comes after the President inaugurated the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals, established by the President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote, in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos State, on Monday.
The Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, who addressed a news conference in Abuja on Monday, said the building had a 12-floor tower with five floors on both wings of the tower and “bridges” linking the two wings.
According to him, the construction of the building commenced in 2007 following the need to build a befitting edifice for the service.
He added that the need for more space in view of the capacity of the service, informed the construction of the building.
