Acting Comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, on Tuesday, paid a courtesy visit to the Office of National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, in Abuja.
The maiden visit was part of the collaborative strategies of Adeniyi’s effort to address some of the challenges associated with the manning of Nigeria’s vast land borders.
“The porous nature of the nation’s borders necessitates this visit to the NSA to fashion the best way to tackle the menace of smuggling which has adverse effects on our economy and security,” the acting CGC stated.
It will be recalled that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had on June 19, 2023 appointed Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR as Acting Comptroller-General of Customs alongside Rubadu, Service Chiefs and acting Inspector-General of Police.
