The Presidency has announced the extension of the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
The tenure which is due to expire on August 31, 2025, has been extended by one year.
A short statement endorsed by Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga, said the extension, approved by President Bola Tinubu, will enable Mr. Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete critical initiatives of this administration, including: the modernisation of the Nigeria Customs Service; implementation of the National Single Window Project; and execution of Nigeria’s obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol.
President Tinubu recognises Mr. Adeniyi’s steadfast leadership and commitment to service.
The President is confident that this extension will further strengthen the NCS in achieving its strategic mandate of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security.
