Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has unveiled Deputy Superintendent of Customs (Pilot), Olanike Nafisat Balogun, who has made history by being the first female pilot in the Nigeria Customs Service, rising from a cabin crew member to a trailblazer in aviation.

According to a statement by the NCS on Sunday via X, Balogun was born in Kaduna and hails from Odo-Otin Local Government Area, Osun State.

Her remarkable journey began in 2002 when she was recruited as a Customs Assistant to serve in the NCS Airwing Unit.

The statement also highlighted Balogun’s journey of resilience and ambition, praising the service for its support in transforming her dreams into reality.

Balogun said : “Staying in the Service when many of my colleagues opted for better-paying airline jobs was a tough decision, but I was determined to contribute to public service and achieve my dream of becoming a pilot.”

Reflecting on her accomplishment, Balogun said : “My role as the first female pilot in the Service reflects my commitment to advancing my dream and enhancing the operational capabilities of the NCS.”

She added : “I hope my journey motivates young Nigerians, especially women, to chase their dreams and break through barriers.”

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, lauded her achievement, calling it a testament to the NCS’s dedication to capacity building and innovation.

“Her story exemplifies what is possible with determination and institutional support,” he stated.(vitalnewsngr.com)
