In media statement issued and signed by both Elder Dele Aderibigbe the Chairman and Mr. Moses Ebosele the Secretary of the Network of Nigerian Maritime Journalists, an umbrella body of all Nigerian maritime Journalists heartily felicitates the Customs Comptroller- General, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi on his birthday.
The Network congratulated the Customs Boss for reaching this milestone. That Adeniyi deserves all the accolades as he stood up to be counted when the Nigeria Customs Service needed direction. Adeniyi repositioned the Service by bringing it out from the eye of the storm to an enviable position in World Customs Organisation thereby, boosting Nigeria's image as Chairman.
Aderibigbe and Ebosele described the Controller General of Customs as a workaholic who turned the Nigeria Customs Service around with series of far reaching reforms, especially B'odogwu an indigenous intervention which is working wonders, churning in much needed revenue to the coffers of the Nigerian government. "Little wonder President Bola Ahmed Tinubu himself said that
"CGC Adeniyi’s leadership has also contributed to improved community relations, consistent surpassing of revenue targets, stronger trade partnerships with countries and multilateral institutions, and enhanced security across Nigeria’s borders, noting that “these achievements underscore the value of reform-oriented leadership in strengthening national economic resilience and safeguarding our borders” they emphasized.
The Network prays that the Almighty fortify and grant him the much needed wisdom to continue to pilot the affairs of the Nigeria Customs Service.
