Maritime Editors  Congratulate Adeniyi On Appointment As New CG

The League of Maritime Editors (LOME) has congratulated the new Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS),  Alhaji Bashir Wale Adeniyi MFR, on his  appointment by the federal government.

In a congratulatory message signed by the  President, Chief Timothy Okorocha and the Secretary, Mr Felix Kumuyi, the League said  Adeniyi deserves the appointment considering his wealth of experience in the Service.

With over 30 years experience in customs administration which includes strategic and operational responsibilities, League described Adeniyi as having been prepared enough for the task of the new CG.

Besides, the League added   that the new CG  as a core professional has a deep understanding  of the complex  nature of  international trade.

The Editors  advised the new CG to strive to maintain professionalism in the Service, as well as right  the wrongs where necessary for the good of the Customs Service.

Part of the message reads, “We also urge you  to ensure that by the time you  have served your tenure in Customs Service, you  will  be remembered  as one who took professionalism to another level, improved on  trade facilitation and welfare of officers  and other  transformations in the Service.   We want you to write your name in gold in terms of performance for others to emulate. When you do this, you    justify the clamour   over the years by maritime industry stakeholders only career officers to be appointed CG of Nigeria Customs”.  

The League also prayed to God to give Adeniyi  the wisdom and strength  to carry out his  new  assignment for the interest of the country.
