President Bola Tinubu has granted a one-year extension to the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
Originally scheduled to retire on August 31, 2025, Adeniyi will now continue to serve until August 2026.
The announcement was made in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga. The extension, the statement noted, is intended to enable Adeniyi to further advance ongoing reforms and complete major initiatives under the Tinubu administration.
These initiatives include the modernisation of the Nigeria Customs Service, the rollout of the National Single Window Project, and the fulfilment of Nigeria’s commitments under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement.
“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.
Adeniyi, who took over from former CG Hameed Ali in June 2023, had initially been appointed in an acting capacity before his confirmation in October of the same year.
