President Tinubu has granted another six-month tenure extension to the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi.
This was contained in a statement issued on Friday by a presidential media aide, Bayo Onanuga.
DAILY POST reports that Adeniyi’s tenure was first extended by one year in 2025 and was expected to expire on August 1, 2026.
According to Onanuga, the six-month extension, which will expire in February 2027, is to enable him to consolidate the implementation of the National Single Window and ensure an orderly succession in the service.
During the transition period, Adeniyi, working with the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, Board, will ensure the promotion of eligible officers to the rank of Comptroller of Customs and the compulsory retirement of officers who have attained 60 years of age or have served 35 years.
Adeniyi joined the Customs Service after graduating from Obafemi Awolowo University in the late 80s.
