Sir are you aware of the replacement of Nigerian youths who were successful in the Nigeria Customs Service recruitment and their names shortlisted on various national newspapers. Sir must of us the affected candidates are now left jobless, because they gave us offer of employment and the Comptroller

I hear you, and I understand how painful this must be. To be offered a job, to see your name shortlisted in the newspapers, and then to find yourself pushed aside for someone else, that is a betrayal of trust that no young Nigerian should have to go through.

I served in the Nigeria Customs Service myself, from 1969 to 1986, so I know that service from the inside. I know what it should stand for: discipline, fairness and merit. What you are describing, where connections or political patronage can override a fair process and leave qualified young people jobless, is exactly the kind of thing I am determined to end. I want a Nigeria where your character and hard work determine your future, not who you know or who you can reach.

That is the direction I am committed to taking this country: competence over connections, merit over godfatherism, and opportunity built on fairness. Every young Nigerian deserves a process they can trust, and a government that keeps its word.
