Apapa Customs has launched a regular physical fitness exercise to promote officers’ mental and physical wellbeing. The initiative, introduced by Customs Area Controller (CAC) Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba, aims to help officers balance work and personal life amidst the demands of their job .<\/p>\n
According to Oshoba, the programme aligns with Comptroller-General of Customs Adewale Adeniyi’s work-life balance policy and is necessary due to the nature of Customs operations, long working hours, and urban stress. “This is to keep officers both mentally and physically fit,” Oshoba said.<\/p>\n
The CAC emphasized that stress and exhaustion have negatively impacted personnel in the past, highlighting the need for proactive health management. The fitness exercise is designed to improve officers’ productivity and overall health.<\/p>\n
Officers welcomed the initiative and pledged to sustain the exercise as part of their efforts to maintain healthy lifestyles. The programme is expected to strengthen teamwork, boost morale, and enhance operational efficiency within the Command.<\/p>\n
The fitness exercise, which commenced on January 29, 2026, will be a regular feature for officers. Oshoba encouraged officers to make it a personal habit, saying, “We are not doing this for publicity. It is meant to build up our fitness so that we will be able to cope with our work schedule.”<\/p>\n
The Apapa Area Command is a busy hub of activity, and officers often work long hours, making it challenging to maintain a healthy work-life balance. The fitness programme is a step in the right direction, promoting a culture of wellness and self-care among officers .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
