Nigerian Maritime Journalists, comprising all the associations covering the maritime beat, have come together to honour the Customs CG as the “Iconic Maritime Personality of the year 2024"


The need for the Nigerian maritime media practitioners to honour the CGC is a unanimous decision by all maritime journalists, cutting across print, electronic and online media, led by the different beat associations.


These 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 Nigerian Maritime Media Practitioners  (CONMMEP), as well as those who do not belong to any association.


They believe that CG Adeniyi has registered sterling and excellent performance as can witnessed in the unprecedented revenue collection, anti-smuggling activities, trade facilitation, national security, staff welfare, inter-agency collaboration, infrastructural upgrade, Information and Communication Technology, Corporate Social Responsibility and officers welfares since his assumption of office as the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service
