President Bola Tinubu has appointed F.O. Okun as the Deputy Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service. Two other Deputy-Generals, MBA Musa and A. Hamisu, were also appointed. The announcement was made by Mr. Abdullahi Maiwada (CSC), the National Public Relations Officer of the Service, in a statement this morning.
In addition to the Deputy Comptroller-Generals, three new Assistant Comptrollers-General (ACGs) were appointed, namely K. Olumoh, AB Mohammed, and A. Alajogun.
These appointments come after the earlier appointment of Acting Comptroller-General Mr. Adewale Adeniyi by President Tinubu on June 19. The statement mentioned that the Acting Comptroller-General thanked the retired members of the management for their service and congratulated the newly appointed officers. He urged them to work hard to ensure that the Service achieves its goals of revenue generation, suppression of smuggling, and trade facilitation.
In a separate development, Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State congratulated his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, for being nominated as a ministerial candidate by President Bola Tinubu. Wike, a two-term governor of Rivers State from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was succeeded by Governor Fubara. The nomination of Wike sparked debates among political pundits, with some suggesting that he was being rewarded for supporting President Tinubu during the 2023 elections in Rivers State.
Furthermore, it was reported earlier that President Tinubu has chosen Lateef Fagbemi as the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice. Fagbemi is the lead counsel defending Tinubu and the APC in the presidential election petition court. The appointment of Fagbemi came shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Tinubu as the winner of the 2023 presidential election.
