President Bola Tinubu has approved a one-year extension of the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
Adeniyi, whose tenure was supposed to expire on August 31, 2025, will now remain in office until August 2026, a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga said.
It claimed that the extension is aimed at allowing Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete key initiatives of the Tinubu administration.
“President Tinubu recognises Mr. Adeniyi’s steadfast leadership and commitment to service.
“The President is confident that this extension will further strengthen the Nigeria Customs Service in achieving its strategic mandate of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security,” the statement read.
Tinubu appointed Adeniyi as the CG of the Nigeria Customs Service in October 2023.
