The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) has extended hearty congratulations to Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi on the extension of his tenure as Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS).

In a statement issued on behalf of the association’s president, Mr. Isaiah Benjamin, SWAN Secretary-General Amb. Ikenna Okonkwo described the tenure extension as a well-deserved recognition of Mr. Adeniyi’s outstanding leadership.
