Nigerian Customs generates N5.5 billion daily - Comptroller-General, Hameed Ali



Nigerian Customs generates�N5.5 billion daily -�Comptroller-General, Hameed Ali

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says its revenue generation has increased to the region of N5.5 billion daily.  

 

The Comptroller-General (CGC), Hameed Ali, made this known during a working visit to the headquarters of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) in Lagos.  

 

The CGC, who was represented at the event by the Assistant Comptroller General (ACG) and Customs Coordinator in-charge of Zone A, Kaycee Ekekezie, said the feat was made possible as a result of the automation of customs operations at the ports.  

 

According to the customs boss, the increase in revenue generation has helped in the prompt payment of salaries of workers of the NCS and made the organisation a critical contributor to the nation’s treasury in terms of revenue generation.

“The automation of the customs system at ports and borders has made it easy for the service to block revenue leakages and meet targets. The system has made transaction in ports user friendly while eliminating human contact and its attendant frictions in the cargo transaction business,’’ Ali said.

He charged the freight forwarders on trade compliance, said sincere declaration and truthful documentation would aid both the customs and the forwarders to achieve a common goal of trade facilitation devoid of cargo delays.

They should automate Onne Port as well. The guys on the road make us sending stuff home very expensive. After spending and doing all the clearing successfully, some crazy guy will stop them midway to collect 1/4 mil naira in addition

If the country generates that much from one agency, why does buhari keeps borrowing to increase our foreign and local debt burden? What's really happening in our dear country? All I se is much talk and no action of a system.

I SAY IT AGAIN AND I WILL SAY IT LOUD!!!!!!. NIGERIA IS ONE OF THE RICHEST COUNTRY IF NOT THE RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE PLANET EARTH. ALL OUR CAPITAL CITIES IN THE 36 STATES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE DUBAI , JOHANNESBURG , MELBOURNE , TOKYO, WASHINGTON, LONDON ETC AND OUR LIVING STANDARD SHOULD BE HIGH WITH ADEQUATE SOCIAL SECURITY IN PLACE FOR EVERY CITIZEN BUT SHEER WICKEDNESS, SELFISHNESS AND GREED ARE GENETICALLY IMBIBED IN OUR LEADERS AND POLITICIANS. THEY HAVE FAILED US AND OUR UNBORN GENERATIONS. WE HAVE BECOME A NATION ON LIFE SUPPORT. THE NATION IS BLEEDING WHILE THE ONLY PRIVILEGED FEW ARE FEEDING FAT. IT IS HIGH TIME WE CREATE A SITUATION LIKE THE ONE CURRENTLY IN SUDAN TO DEMAND FOR A DIFFERENT WAY OF GOVERNANCE AND TO HOLD THESE THIEVES ACCOUNTABLE. IT IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL AND BASIC HUMAN RIGHT. THESE THIEVES WILL NOT GIVE UP EASILY , WE THE PEOPLE MUST COME TOGETHER TO CONFRONT THEM IRRESPECTIVE YOUR OF TRIBE OR RELIGION. If you like call this a hate speech and don't post it or some people here will give it a negative but deep down in your heart you know I have spoken the absolute truth. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
