Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, CGC Adewale Adeniyi MFR, has charged the women’s volleyball team to make Nigeria’s First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON, proud during the 2025 African Women’s Club Volleyball Championship.
Customs are set to host the prestigious African Championship, which will take place from April 1st to 14th at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
Adeniyi highlighted that the team draws inspiration from the First Lady’s unwavering support for women’s sports and her significant contributions to empowering the girl child in Nigeria.
He expressed his deep gratitude to the First Lady for her continued commitment to the sporting community.
“I want to extend our appreciation to the First Lady, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu CON, for accepting to be the Grand Patron of this tournament and for being a pillar of sports in this country,” Adeniyi said.
He also acknowledged her dedication to teams like D’Tigress and the Super Falcons, praising her efforts to elevate women’s sports to the highest level.
Adeniyi emphasised the First Lady’s tremendous impact on the development of young girls, particularly through education and sports.
“I have followed what she does for D’Tigress and the Super Falcons; I believe that if the Customs volleyball team performs well, we stand a chance of making her proud.
“She has done a lot for the girl child in the area of education, bringing out the best in them, nurturing talent, and providing hope,” Adeniyi added.
The CGC expressed his confidence that Customs VC would deliver an outstanding performance as a token of appreciation for all the First Lady has done for women in Nigeria.
He said, “I am looking forward to something big that we can give to her as a present for all that she has been doing for Nigerian women.
“We have to make the First Lady proud, and I hope they deliver. With the backing of the First Lady and the aspirations of the entire nation, Customs VC is poised to make an unforgettable mark on the tournament.”
