Thank you for your audience .

As a team, we are here today to inform you on a variety of topics, including the rebranding plan, as well as to express our gratitude for your support to NaCSA as a strategic partner. The plan has strategically repositioned the Commission in a way that will improve effective and efficient service delivery by utilizing an inclusive people-centric and employees' motivating approach. 

My role as a Commissioner is to collaborate with partners to REBRAND and realign our mandates with the government’s BIG FIVE GAME CHANGERS to accelerate economic growth and building resilience. NaCSA is a hybrid organization, I am here to clean off all bottlenecks or potentials that might delay implementation and to promote His Excellency Retired Brigadier Dr. Julius Maada Bio’s agenda of Prompt Action On Poverty Alleviation.

During my first management meeting, I made it emphatically clear that I want to see all NaCSA staff United, and the Commission rebranded. I further called on a symbolic sign of peace where members of the team were able to share, hug and handshake as a show of unity and reconciliation. As we speak, Your Excellency, I can conveniently say NaCSA is united and ready to deliver.

Within this short time, I have held strategic meetings with key strategic partners including the World Bank Country team, Islamic Development Bank, Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, and we are at an advance stage to meet with the German and Chinese Ambassadors as well as the African Development Bank country team, these are some of the biggest donors. It may interest you to know that NaCSA has instituted a corporate atmosphere that those who has recently visited our office are mesmerized by the corporate display by staff, a concept I have deliberately championed and will continue to do so. 

We are moving beyond our traditional donors and seeking to establish strong partnerships with international organisations and foreign governments to access technical expertise, financial resources, knowledge sharing and best practices while promoting mutual growth. And for this Mr. Vice President, we humbly solicit your support and good will.

Moving forward, we will continue to build on the foundations we have established as we seek to expand initiative that promote staff wellbeing, strengthen our commitment to transparency by regularly communicating updates, progress and institutional changes to staff.

I am truly pleased by the progress we have made so far, and I remain committed to navigating the challenges ahead. I am confident that we can continue to build trust, promote unity and establish a more resilient institution.

Once again, I want to thank you for your continued support.
