Ho, June 27, GNA - Mr Paul Adubofour, Deputy Commissioner, Administration and Human Resource of the Customs Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS), has urged personnel of the service to display a high sense of honesty and fairness in order to meet revenue targets. He was speaking at the passing-out of 67 officers of the service after six weeks' training at the CEPS Academy at Agortime-Kpetoe in the Adaklu-Anyigbe District last Friday.

Mr Adubofour reminded the officers that the amount of money ceded by government to support the Service was linked to the amount of money raked in by CEPS.

He said management of CEPS would continue to give priority to training to increase the skills of personnel in maintaining effective customs control environment over goods, vessels and aircraft entering or leaving Ghana.

According to Mr Adubofour, Ghana customs had benefited from training programmes organized by the United States Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP).

He said the courses sharpened the skills of participants in the control of the outward and inward movement of goods, people and vehicles, as well as the protection of the citizenry against terrorism, illicit drug trafficking and other prohibited goods.
