 The Journalists covering the maritime sub-sector of the Nation’s economy are set to honour the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), CGC Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, who had been nominated for the “Iconic Maritime Personality of the Year 2024.”

The journalists made the nomination sequel to the numerous achievements of the Customs boss.

This was contained in a press statement signed by Mr. Dele Aderibigbe, chairman, award planning committee and Mr. Innocent Orok the secretary of the committee.

According to the statement, the need for the Nigerian maritime media practitioners to honour the CGC was a unanimous decision by all maritime journalists covering the maritime beat, cutting across print, electronic and online media and approved by their different beat associations.

They include the Maritime Reporters Association of Nigeria (MARAN), League of Maritime Editors (LOME), Association of Maritime Journalists of Nigeria (AMJON), Maritime Journalists Association of Nigeria (MAJAN), Shipping Correspondents Association of Nigeria (SCAN), Online Maritime Media Association of Nigeria (OMMAN) and Congress of Maritime Media Practitioners (CONMMEP).

They believed that CG Adeniyi has registered sterling and excellent performance since his assumption of office as the Comptroller-General of Customs.

According to a nomination letter sent to the CGC by the secretary, award planning committee, Mr Innocent Orok, “there is no gainsaying you have redeemed and repositioned the Service in all areas.

“These include revenue collection, anti-smuggling activities, trade facilitation, national security, staff welfare, inter-agency collaboration, infrastructural upgrading, Information and Communication Technology, and Corporate Social Responsibility, among others.

“It is also incontestable that your record-breaking performance has attracted national and international laurels to you, the Service, and Nigeria as a whole. Unarguably, it is partly for these reasons that the Leadership Newspaper Group recently honoured you with the award of the Public Service Personality of the Year.

“We, the maritime journalists, comprising both print, electronic and online media covering the beat, are happy to be part of this history-making with you as partners in progress.

“In appreciation of your superlative performance and, by extension, your unrelenting support to the media, especially the maritime media, we nominate you as the ICONIC MARITIME PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR.”

On his part, Chairman of the award planning committee, Dele Aderibegbe, explained that “the award is coming at no better time than during the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is looking for focused and dedicated leaders to take the Nigerian economy out of the woods.”

According to him, “this honour is very symbolic. First, this is the first time in the maritime sub-sector that all the journalists covering the beat will come together to honour a deserving performer per excellence, who has made the Customs and Nigeria proud by his purposeful, professional and patriotic leadership.

“Secondly, the Nigeria Customs Service under Adewale Adeniyi has been reconnected to international frontiers and leading in revenue collection, anti-smuggling activities, trade facilitation, ICT, modernisation, and inter-agency collaboration, among others.

“This honour by maritime journalists is also to set an agenda for other agencies of government and their appointees that the ever vibrant and dogged maritime media are watching them.

“We are inviting special guests, especially other agencies’ heads and maritime stakeholders to come and witness this great event, which is first of its kind in the Nigerian maritime industry.”

The award ceremony is coming up on Thursday, January 16, 2025 at the Apapa Port Customs Command Auditorium, at 12noon prompt.
