The National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) has commended Deputy Comptroller Oladapo Afeni for a blistering start as Area Comptroller, Nigeria Customs Service, Ogun I Area Command.
In a Thursday statement signed by its National President, Aare Oluwafemi Ajayi, the association expressed delight at Afeni’s outstanding start marked by courage, professionalism, and operational excellence.
