Acting Comptroller-General of Customs John Atte yesterday directed Area Controllers to increase their weekly average revenue from the current N13 billion to N35 billion.

According to a statement by the organisation’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Wale Adeniyi, in Abuja, Atte gave the directive at a strategic session of Customs Management and Area Controllers.

The meeting deliberated with officers on various areas of revenue leakages and ways to put in place measures to plug them.

Atte directed the immediate setting up of anti-corruption seats in all area commands to monitor officers’ conduct and report to his office accordingly.

On anti-smuggling activities, Atte directed the Federal Operations Units to intensify their border patrols to bring smugglers to book.

He also directed an immediate review of operational procedures to give maximum effect to the ban on all hinterland patrols in the country.

“All Task Forces under any name or guise operating in all seaports, airports and land borders are disbanded with immediate effect.

“Officers serving in these ad hoc units are to be withdrawn and redeployed immediately,’’ Atte said.

Atte also directed Area Controllers to take full control of their areas, adding that they would be held responsible for staff conduct and discipline in their jurisdictions.

This one is looking for confirmation

While Jonathan's Body Language Promotes and encourages Corruption, My Sai Buhari's Own abhors and Discourages Corruption!


Carry Go Baba!

That is a 3 fold increase in a week. To even imagine that it is possible to make such, and we're not making it, is scary! 20 billion a week is over 1 Trillion a year!
1 Trillion a year is just a quarter of our yearly budget. So we are losing a quater of our budget every week in Customs alone! NNPC nko? NPA nko? NIMASA nko?

Another bad news for wailers!

Initial gra gra

Initial gra gra

Nothing like initial gra gra under Baba's watch o. The old man can kick anybody out at anytime so they are all being very careful.

Atte made two points clear,
1. All Area comptrollers should increase weekly revenue collection from 13 to 35 billion naira.
2. All task force is hereby disbanded.
While I agree with the second, I disagree with the first. Increase revenue how? with the decreasing rate of importation? Go APMT, TICT, LILLYPOND, P&CHS, PTML and other bonded terminals, you will notice the activity rate has dropped from how it used to be 2 years ago and it's still dropping. I especially pity those bonded terminal operators as some bonded terminals have virtually turned football fields.

Hmmmmm...

Rubbish
