While giving his approval for the redeployment, the CGC said, Federal Government policies on Agriculture, Economy and Security can only be successful with a strong, determined and patriotic Customs Service.
He charged all affected officers to bring their experiences to bear in their new postings by fighting smugglers to a standstill and collecting every collectable revenue.
In the face of challenging security situation and increasing inclination to non-oil revenue drive, the Service must step up to be counted as a necessary safety valve for National growth, he said.
The redeployment is with immediate effect.
