Adeniyi's tenure, initially set to expire on August 31, 2025, will now run until August 2026. The extension aims to allow Adeniyi to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete key initiatives of the Tinubu administration.
These initiatives include modernizing the Customs Service, implementing the National Single Window Project, and fulfilling Nigeria's obligations under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) protocol.
According to a statement by the President's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu recognizes Adeniyi's leadership and commitment to service. The President expressed confidence that the extension will strengthen the Nigeria Customs Service in achieving its strategic mandate.
Adeniyi was appointed as the CG of the Nigeria Customs Service by Tinubu in October 2023, taking over from former CG Hameed Ali in June 2023.
