President Bola Tinubu has extended the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
The customs boss will now stay one more year in office.
Adeniyi was initially scheduled to end on August 31, 2025.
By the President’s approval, he will remain in office until August 2026.
The announcement was made on Thursday in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga said the extension is intended to allow Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete key initiatives under the Tinubu administration.
He added that the President recognised Adeniyi’s leadership and expressed confidence that the extension would further strengthen the Customs Service in areas such as trade facilitation, revenue generation, and border security.
Adeniyi was appointed Comptroller-General in October 2023 after serving in an acting capacity
