President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr. Adewale Adeniyi, on his 59th birthday, celebrated on January 19.
In a statement released on Saturday by his spokesman, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu praised Adeniyi’s leadership since assuming office in June 2023.
“Under his guidance, the agency has witnessed significant progress through the steady digitalisation and automation of its operations, a renewed commitment to professionalism, and an uplift in officers’ morale, enhancing high performance,” the President stated.
Tinubu further commended Adeniyi for driving the NCS to surpass its revenue targets and strengthening trade facilitation, which he said has had “widespread positive effects on the national economy.”
Highlighting Adeniyi’s innovative strategies, the President acknowledged his efforts in combating smuggling and empowering youth. “The innovative anti-smuggling strategies initiated by the Comptroller-General have equipped the youth with new skills for alternative livelihood opportunities, fostering engagements with traditional institutions,” Tinubu noted.
The President also applauded Adeniyi’s achievements in enhancing security and operational efficiency. “The remarkable seizures of arms and ammunition and the revitalisation of the Comptroller-General’s Annual Conference, aimed at assessing and improving the agency’s operations, are commendable milestones,” he said.
Recognizing Adeniyi’s vast experience, Tinubu remarked, “His extensive experience of over 30 years in service and adaptability to change has greatly enriched the Customs Service.”
Concluding his message, President Tinubu offered prayers for the Customs chief. “The President offers prayers for divine wisdom, robust health, and continued strength for Comptroller-General Adeniyi as he serves the nation,” the statement read.
