President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Dr. Adewale Adeniyi, on his 60th birthday, describing him as a committed public servant whose reforms have strengthened the nation’s trade and revenue architecture.
In a congratulatory message issued on Sunday by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, the President rejoiced with Adeniyi on the milestone.
He noted that his years of dedicated service, hard work and pursuit of excellence have repositioned the Customs Service for more efficient service delivery.
President Tinubu said under Adeniyi’s leadership, the NCS has recorded landmark reforms, improved community relations, boosted revenue generation and enhanced Nigeria’s trade engagements with other countries.
The President also highlighted Adeniyi’s role in transforming the Service into a globally competitive institution, an effort that culminated in his election as Chairman of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) in June 2025.
President Tinubu also commended the Customs Comptroller-General for continually positively projecting Nigeria and Africa on the global stage through inclusive, practical and charismatic leadership at the WCO.
As Adeniyi marks his 60th birthday on January 19, President Tinubu prayed for renewed strength, good health and wisdom for him to continue serving the nation.
