New Comptroller-General of Customs, Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari assigned him to do three things in the service. He has been assigned to increase revenue generation, restructure Customs and Reform Customs. According to a statement by the Public Relations Officer, Mr. Wale Adeniyi on Thursday, Ali made the disclosure at his maiden meeting with the management of the service at Abuja. The statement quoted him as telling the senior officers that: “The mandate he (Buhari) has given me are three basic things: go to Customs, reform Customs, restructure Customs and increase the revenue generation, simple. I don’t think that is ambiguous, I don’t think that is cumbersome”. It is precise and I believe that is what all of you are here to do.” He charged Customs Management to work with him to deliver on the mandate given by President Mohammadu Buhari. He pleaded with the Management not to see him as a stranger in the Customs Family, noting that his mission in Customs is to help build and strengthen the Service.

Nice one.... I wish you GOODLUCK.

NIGERIAN Custom Service is in trouble as no credible Deputy Comptroller General can be trusted to take over from Dikko. And. A retired Colonel has to come to there rescue. What is world Custom Organisation doing about this development? Absurd indeed.

ok, may God help him

I believe only regions with international borders ought to head customs. If your region is landlockdd....what do you know about international border?

I pity countries like Mali and the other landlocked countries... No thanks to greedy colonialist.

Under dictators like Buhari, no public officer should ever dream of growing to the peak of their careers because an outsider must be ordered to come head you.

A man who has not spent one day as a custom officer is mandated to go reform and restructure customs

A man without any credible educational qualification has been appointed to build a a mordern day customs organisation

Under Buhari, medical doctors shall be appointed to fly planes.

There seems to be a recurring pattern in some of PMB's key appointments. There is a very clear mandate, with few strategic issues. The new NNPC boss said a similar thing on assumption of office.

I expect a similar pattern once ministers are appointed. It makes sense that the president is taking his time to understand the true position of things at the ministries first from their P.S. This will help him in framing his mandate for every incoming minister.
