President Abdulla Yameen today sacked Commissioner General of Customs Abbas Adil Riza and appointed Maldives Ports Limited (MPL) CEO Mohamed Junaid to the post.
Ibrahim Muaz Ali, the president’s office spokesperson, announced Riza’s dismissal on Twitter this morning, but did not state any reasons.
He has since been appointed to the post of additional secretary at the foreign ministry.
Riza was put in charge of customs in March this year after then-Commissioner General Ahmed Zuhoor was appointed to the cabinet.
