As preparations intensify for the hosting of World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) Abuja 2026, the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Bashir Adewale Adeniyi has assured that the Service under his leadership will deploy technology to give delegates coming into the country for the Forum and other engagements exciting experiences.
CGC Adeniyi, a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) gave the assurance at the national unveiling of the Forum in Abuja.
"We've taken judicial notice of the remarkable transformation that has happened in our airports. When you get to any of our points of entry now, all you need do is to scan your passport, then submit yourself to our facilities, and your details captured, the door opens for you if you are a legitimate traveller. This and more we intend to sustain before, during and after the November 2026 WPRF", he stated.
This he described as a global standard practice, underlining that Nigeria has braced up to adapt to international travel procedures. "We are already setting standards to ensure that Nigeria compares with anywhere in the world. Customs will be important, Immigration, NSCDC, the military, the police, market women, everybody is part of whole-of-society approach to ensure we give the rest of the world an excellent experience when they come to Nigeria".
CGC Adeniyi who is also the Chairman of World Customs Organisation (WCO) reiterates that beyond giving the world the biggest, brightest and boldest WPRF, it will also be the best so far organised by Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management.
