Customs Uses Floral Displays to Promote Officer Wellbeing
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has commenced a floral beautification initiative at its Headquarters in Abuja as part of efforts to promote officer wellbeing and create a more welcoming, relaxed and productive workplace environment.
The initiative was led by the Comptroller of Administration, Human Resources Department, Ditan Tiyatiye, who on Monday, 31 August 2026, presented carefully curated floral arrangements to the office of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, as well as other strategic locations within the Headquarters complex.
Tiyatiye explained that the initiative was inspired by the belief that the physical environment can influence the mood, wellbeing and productivity of personnel, noting that introducing elements of nature into workspaces could contribute to a more pleasant atmosphere.

“A beautiful environment contributes to the way people feel and work,” she said, adding that simple touches of nature could promote happiness, relaxation and greater efficiency among officers and other personnel.
She disclosed that the initiative began on the sixth floor of her former department before expanding to other areas, including the Information and Communication Technology Unit, offices of senior officers, the visitors’ lounge and the main auditorium.
According to her, the latest floral arrangements were carefully sourced and personally designed to complement the different spaces, particularly areas frequently used by officers, visitors and senior management.
Beyond beautification, Tiyatiye said the initiative was intended to contribute to officer wellness by creating an environment capable of motivating personnel and supporting them in the effective discharge of their responsibilities.
She encouraged officers across the Service to adopt similar initiatives within their respective workspaces, stressing that collective attention to the work environment could contribute to a more positive and productive organisational culture.
