President Tinubu extends the tenure of the Comptroller-General of Customs

The Presidency announces that the tenure of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR, which is due to expire on August 31, 2025, has been extended by one year.

The extension, approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, will enable Mr. Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete critical initiatives of this administration, including:
• The modernisation of the Nigeria Customs Service;
• The implementation of the National Single Window Project; and
• The execution of Nigeria’s obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol.

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.

Time for yoruba to do their own, Buhari started these whole shit

osuofia2:
I wish Buhari is alive to that two can actually play the game. He was busy appointing northerners in various office, now Jagaban don show am say, him own na play

AMINDA:
He looks at the next in line, if non-Yoruba, he extends the tenure.

Watianoengineer:
All I know is that Tinubu mean well for the poor masses. Unlike Peter Obi whose bigotry goes beyond limit. 540 million donations and south west did not receive a kobo. I hope those westerners forming woke can see beyond their nose that President Bola Tinubu remains the best option for we nigerians. Not pretenders like Obi.

AMINDA:
All that "Buhari started all these" is not completely true. Buhari shared appointments across the Northeast, Northwest, and Northcentral. Tinubu is only focused on the Southwest. Even when he appoints from the Northcentral, it's only from the Yoruba-speaking parts of Kogi and Kwara.

AMINDA:
He looks at the next in line, if non-Yoruba, he extends the tenure.Tinubu, at least consider other tribes in the south. Southern Nigeria is comprised of Southwest, Southsouth and Southeast. This is not the way to build a Southern alliance nor rule a country. Turn of the South indeed!
