Speaking on the convocation events, he affirmed that the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service  (NCS), Bashir Adeniyi, will deliver the seveth convocation lecture of the Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) on May 5, 2025, in Lagos.

The convocation lecture will precede the convocation ceremonies on May 6, 2025, where 707 graduands will convoke at the seventh academic ceremonies to be led by the Chairman Governing Council of NIJ, Arepo Olusefin Osoba.
