Maritime journalists under the aegis of Shipping Correspondent Association of Nigeria (SCAN), on Thursday, said the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) would be positioned for greater innovation and efficiency under the new acting Customs CG, Adewale Adeniyi.
SCAN is an association comprised of maritime correspondents from national daily newspapers across the country.
However, in a statement signed by its president, Eugene Agha, and a copy made available to NATIONAL ECONOMY, said though the tasks ahead were daunting, the association is confident in his capacity to produce outstanding success on all fronts.
The statement reads, “The executive committee and entire members of the Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN) heartily congratulates you, DCG Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, on your appointment as the Ag. Comptroller-General of Customs of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).
“Sound in training and practice across all relevant spheres of the customs engagements over the decades, we have no doubt that your appointment is merited and will immensely benefit the NCS in particular and the country in general.
“Sir, with Nigeria presently in dire need of moral and economic rebuilding, your appointment as a man of integrity and impeccable attributes raises hopes. Therefore, though the tasks ahead are daunting, we are confident in your capacity to produce outstanding success on all fronts. To that end, we pray God to guide your decisions and bless your works.
“On our part as a body of maritime correspondents of major national dailies, electronic and online media, having worked closely with you over the decades as customs national public relations officer and area controller, among others, assure of our support towards your success on this saddle.”
