Buhari Wades In, Orders Customs Boss Hammed Ali To Appear Before Senate
President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered Hammed Ali, comptroller-general of the Nigeria customs service (NCS), to appear before the Nigerian Senate tomorrow.
THE CABLE is reporting that the President issued the order to Ali this
afternoon after his initial letter declining to appear before the Senate
was read.
Ali has also sent out a second letter to the Senate on the controversial
payment of customs duty by vehicle owners who do not have them. He said
the policy was being reviewed.
“May I respectfully refer to your letter dated 9 March and inform
Your Excellency that the decision on payment of customs duties by
vehicle owners who do not have them as prescribed by law is currently
being reviewed. The goal of the review is to take a broad additional
input from the stakeholders and the public. I will welcome the
opportunity to avail the senate of our findings,” Ali wrote.
