Customs CG Commissions Sports Arena at MMAC, Promotes Officers’ Wellness
The multi-purpose court was officially unveiled on Tuesday, 26 November 2024.
Speaking at the event, the CGC expressed his delight at having the arena named in his honour. He commended the Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Michael Awe, and his team for their initiative, as well as stakeholders whose support and generosity made the project possible.
The CGC remarked, “Everywhere we go, we must strive to leave it better than we found it, and this is exactly what Awe has done. The quarter guard post, which has remained in its position since Comptroller Awe joined the Service in 1990, has now been upgraded thanks to his vision and resourcefulness. It is highly commendable.”
Comptroller Awe, in his address, described the arena as a symbol of unity, wellness, and progress. “This facility will be a vital resource for recreation, fitness, and camaraderie, enhancing both individual and organisational effectiveness,” he stated.
The inauguration ceremony included a physical exercise session, underscoring the Service’s commitment to fostering a healthy work-life balance.
The CGC also highlighted the importance of physical fitness for customs officers, noting the demands of their role. “Physical fitness is crucial to our work. We must remain fit to handle the challenges of our job, as physical fitness directly supports mental resilience.”
He encouraged personnel and stakeholders to utilise the new facility for competitions and activities that promote healthy living and teamwork.
