The Nigerian Customs Service, has backtracked on its stance to enforce the payment of Import Duties on vehicle owners following the intervention by the Nigerian Senate.
In a conversation with ThisDay newspaper on Monday, March 13th, the acting public relations officer of the NCS, Mr. Joseph Attah, stressed that at no time was the policy targeted at car owners, however, this clarification by the Custom Service was conspicuously missing before the Senate intervened on the issue.
Attah further clarified that there was nothing special about, except that motor dealers, and not vehicle owners, were being asked to use the period to pay for unpaid duties on vehicles.

ReplyDeleteYeye man. Who puts a retired person as customs comptroller when there are more competent senior officers who can handle this position well.
ReplyDeleteVery useless and insensitive decision. He is backtracking cos of the backlash he received.
Best news ever. Hope the useless policy is scrapped......

ReplyDeleteVery dumb exercise. It was not a policy, the man was only trying to forcefully generate revenue for the government, Buhari still has some dumb people around him and Nigerians must resist this useless and harmful exercise. Why should Nigerians pay for the sins of the corrupt custom officer, people are not smiling and you even want to make it worse, they will impound your vehicle and sell to their own front man at a ridiculous price. Senate must stop this madness.
