The Nigeria Customs Service says it has taken
delivery of two helicopters, 400 units of
Toyota Hilux vehicles and 5,000 AK 47 rifles
to combat smuggling and illegal movement
of small arms into the country.
The Comptroller-General of the Customs
Service, Alhaji Mohammed Dikko, made this
known to State House Correspondents in
Abuja on Tuesday.
He reiterated the determination and
commitment of the Customs to the security of
the nation’s borders to check the
proliferation of illegal materials.
Dikko assured that the Nigeria Customs
would exceed its targeted internal revenue
for this year from N800 billion to N1.2
trillion.
“Well, I have been given a target and I
assure Nigerians that the target is going to be
met. The target is N800 billion, but I push
my target to N1.2 trillion.
“So, I made a provision of additional N400
billion extra to give them- the Nigerian
people, so that they can be happy.’’
On the recently inaugurated Customs
training school in Gwagwalada, Dikko said
that the college had since started full
academic activities with middle and high
cadre officers from foreign countries.
“It is a staff college; that means it is for
middle and high cadre officers and I want to
assure that the school is occupied up till
December.
“American Embassy has indicated its interest
to train not only Customs but other agencies,
so also are the German Embassy and the
World Customs Organisation.
“That school is fully occupied; it’s the new
bride of educational facilities in Nigeria.’’
The comptroller-general also assured that
the college would continue to serve as centre
of excellence in the training of relevant
manpower for the Nigeria Customs Service
and other agencies, worldwide.

The helicopter will end up in the backyard of the oga custom and then how many of the 5000 Ak's will find their way into the hands of criminal?
