President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved a one-year extension of the tenure of the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service.
Adeniyi’s tenure was initially set to expire on August 31, 2025, but the extension will allow him to continue in office until August 2026.
The extension is aimed at enabling Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete critical initiatives of the administration. These initiatives include 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 protocol.
President Tinubu recognised Adeniyi’s steadfast leadership and commitment to service, expressing confidence that the extension will further strengthen the Nigeria Customs Service in achieving its strategic mandate of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security.
