While commending the Commission’s leadership for its professionalism, the CGC expressed confidence in the revival of Nigeria’s sporting glory.  He aLao expressed confidence that the African Volleyball Inter-Club Women’s Championship, slated for April 2025 in Abuja, will draw elite teams from Africa, showcasing the continent’s top volleyball talent.

“For the first time in a long time, we have tested and accomplished professionals driving sports development in Nigeria. We have no doubt that the glory days of sports are back,” he said. 

The Customs boss disclosed that the Service had been granted hosting rights by the Nigerian Olympic Committee to organise, in collaboration with the Nigerian Volleyball Federation, the championship from 1 to 14 April 2025 and showcase Africa’s best volleyball teams.

The CGC expressed the Service’s readiness to extend its support to the Commission and vowed to deliver a memorable tournament that would reflect Nigeria’s growing stature in sports.

On his part, the Chairman of the National Sports Commission, Malam Shehu Dikko, commended CGC Adeniyi’s vision and described the initiative as a significant milestone in promoting Nigeria’s image and fostering youth participation in sports.

“This championship is not just an opportunity to showcase our athletes but also a platform to inspire young Nigerians and demonstrate our organisational capabilities to the world. Sports are a unifying force, and we will work to ensure that this event reflects the best of what Nigeria can offer,” Dikko said.

He pledged the Commission’s full support, including access to facilities, technical expertise, and logistical assistance, to ensure the championship sets a benchmark for future sporting events in the country.
