President Bola Tinubu has approved a one-year extension for the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Adewale Adeniyi, whose tenure was due to expire August 31.

‎The announcement was made in a statement issued by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, on Thursday in Abuja.‎

‎According to the statement, the extension, approved by President Bola Tinubu will enable Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete critical initiatives of the administration.‎

‎These reforms include the modernisation of the NCS, full implementation of the National Single Window Project and the execution of Nigeria’s obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol.

‎President Tinubu praised Adeniyi’s leadership, describing him as a dedicated reformer with a proven track record.‎

‎The president said he was confident that the extension will further strengthen the NCS in achieving its strategic mandate of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security.

NAN reports that Tinubu appointed Adeniyi as the CG of the Nigeria Customs Service in October 2023.

He took over from former CG, Hameed Alli in June 2023, initially serving in acting capacity.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
