President Bola Tinubu has approved a one-year extension of the tenure of Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, whose current term was set to expire on August 31, 2025.
Presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga confirmed the extension in a statement released on Thursday, noting that the decision was aimed at allowing Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete key initiatives under Tinubu’s administration.
According to the statement, the reforms include the modernisation of the Nigeria Customs Service, the implementation of the National Single Window Project, and Nigeria’s commitments under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol.
“The President recognises Adeniyi’s steadfast leadership and commitment to service,” Onanuga stated. “He 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.”
