Mr Edoh, therefore, urged all Nigerians, especially the youth, to embrace the agenda with a passion for the growth and development of Nigeria.

The UN envoy, also a Life Member of the International Chartered World Learned Society (ICWLS), expressed this thought in a statement signed by his media aide, Emmanuel Daudu.

Mr Edoh praised the Tinubu-led administration for involving young people in the country’s governance.

Speaking against the background of the confirmation of Adewale Adeniyi as the comptroller-general of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) by Mr Tinubu, Mr Edoh charged him to “bring his wealth of experience to bear on his new assignment.’’

The UN envoy expressed optimism that the new CG would deliver.

He congratulated the new CG on his appointment, saying: “This is a well-deserved appointment that reflects his dedication, competence, and commitment to public service.

“His appointment comes at a critical time when our society is facing numerous challenges that require strong leadership and innovative solutions.”

Mr Edoh urged the new comptroller general to create room for dialogue with the public, actively engage with various stakeholders, especially the youth, and embrace collaboration to ensure inclusive decision-making and fairness in the operations of the customs service.
