The Embassy of the Republic of Korea hosted a formal dinner on Thursday, 31 October 2024, in honour of Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC) Adewale Adeniyi and his management team at the Embassy in Abuja.

The event aimed to strengthen bilateral relations and align the objectives of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) with those of the Korean authorities.

Accompanied by senior officers, including Deputy Comptroller-General (DCG) of Human Resource Development Greg Itotoh, DCG of Tariff and Trade Caroline Niagwan, and DCG of ICT-Modernisation Kikelomo Adeola, CGC Adeniyi expressed gratitude for Korea’s commitment to partnership.

In his address, he highlighted the progress made through collaboration with the Korean Embassy and allied agencies, particularly in adopting advanced technologies.

“It is due to our dedicated partnerships that the NCS is now engaged in data analytics programmes, aligning with World Customs Organization standards,” CGC Adeniyi stated, noting that these analytics enable informed decision-making through predictive, descriptive, and prescriptive insights. He emphasised that learning from global leaders like Korean Customs has empowered the NCS to refine its data-driven strategies.
