Tinubu Extends Customs CG Adewale Adeniyi’s Tenure To February 2027
Tunde Bakare
President Bola Tinubu has approved a fresh six-month extension for Adewale Adeniyi as Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service.
TheCable reported that Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, announced the extension on Friday. The new extension is expected to run until February 2027.
Nairametrics also reported the approval, noting that it comes after a previous one-year extension granted to Adeniyi, whose earlier extended tenure was expected to end in 2026.
According to TheCable, Onanuga said the extension would allow Adeniyi to consolidate implementation of the national single window and support an orderly succession process within the service.
The development keeps Adeniyi in charge of the Customs Service during a period when the federal government is pushing trade facilitation, revenue reforms and digital cargo-clearance changes.
