On behalf of the Governing Council, Management, Senate, staff, students, and the entire Federal University Lokoja community, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Gbenga Solomon Ibileye, heartily congratulates the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, CGC Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR, on his well-deserved re-election as Chairperson of the World Customs Organization (WCO) Council.

This historic re-election is a resounding affirmation of your exceptional leadership, professional excellence, unwavering integrity, and the immense confidence reposed in you by the global customs community. It is a remarkable personal achievement and a source of immense pride for Nigeria, Africa, and indeed the international customs fraternity.

As a distinguished alumnus of the Federal University Lokoja and one of our accomplished PhD graduates, your continued rise to global prominence reflects the ideals of excellence, diligence, and transformational leadership that our University seeks to nurture. Your sterling accomplishments continue to inspire our students, staff, alumni, and the younger generation to aspire to greatness through commitment, discipline, and service to humanity.

Your re-election to lead the highest decision-making body of the World Customs Organization further reinforces Nigeria's growing influence in global trade facilitation, customs administration, and international cooperation. We are particularly delighted that one of our own is making such profound contributions to shaping international customs policies and strengthening collaboration among nations.

As you begin another tenure at the helm of the WCO Council, we pray that Almighty God will grant you greater wisdom, sound health, renewed strength, and divine guidance to continue providing visionary leadership that will advance global customs administration and bring even greater honour to Nigeria and humanity.

Once again, congratulations on this exceptional and richly deserved global recognition. The Federal University Lokoja celebrates your remarkable achievement and wishes you every success in your renewed mandate.
