The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has openly hailed Adewale Adeniyi, the 14th Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), for his key function since taking leadership of the Customs Service in June 2023.
Speaking on the occasion of the CGC’s 59th birthday, President Timubu said that under his guidance, the agency has witnessed significant progress through the steady digitalisation and automation of its operations, a renewed commitment to professionalism, and an uplift in officers’ morale, enhancing high performance.
His leadership has enabled the NCS to surpass revenue targets substantially and bolstered trade facilitation, yielding widespread positive effects on the national economy.
President Tinubu applauds the innovative anti-smuggling strategies initiated by the Customs Chief. These strategies encompass equipping the youth with new skills for alternative livelihood opportunities, fostering engagements with traditional institutions, and nurturing a culture of effective communication and mutual respect.
The President recognises the Comptroller-General’s other notable achievements, including the remarkable seizures of arms and ammunition and the revitalisation of the Comptroller-General’s Annual Conference, which aims to assess and enhance the agency’s operations.
President Tinubu affirms that Adeniyi’s extensive experience of over 30 years in service and adaptability to change has greatly enriched the Customs Service.
Prayers for divine wisdom, robust health, and continued strength were liberally offered to God on behalf of Comptroller-General Adeniyi as he continues to diligently serve the nation.
