NCS Comptroller General Adeniyi Approves Key Management Appointments
The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Adewale Adeniyi, has approved new appointments within the service’s key management team. This announcement follows the retirement of several high-ranking officials, leading to the reshuffling and elevation of others to critical positions.
According to a statement issued on Friday by NCS spokesperson Abdullahi Maiwada, the newly appointed officials will oversee various strategic departments within the Customs Service.
Among the appointees is BM Jibo, who has been promoted to the role of Deputy Comptroller-General, responsible for finance, administration, and technical services.
Other notable appointments include OA Alajogun, who will serve as the acting Deputy Comptroller-General in charge of enforcement, inspection, and investigation. Additionally, IG Umar has been designated as the acting Assistant Comptroller-General (ACG) at the NCS headquarters.
In other areas, OA Salefu has been named acting ACG for training and doctrine command, while BA Makinde will take over as acting ACG in charge of human resource development. Finally, Timi Bomodi has also been appointed as the acting ACG for enforcement, inspection, and investigation.
These appointments are aimed at strengthening the leadership structure of the Customs Service and ensuring that its operational and administrative functions are carried out effectively.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
