Customs Collects N903bn Revenue For 2015 – Ali by Demdem2: 7:30am On Jan 09, 2016 |
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) collected a total of N903 billion in 2015 out of a target of N954 billion, comptroller-general of the Service Col. Hameed Ali Rtd, has said. Ali who stated this while fielding questions from journalists after the decoration of newly promoted senior officers of the Service in Abuja, noted that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) policy on the importation of 41 items denied the Customs revenue collection to the tune of N240 billion in 2015. The CGC yesterday decorated six newly promoted Deputy Comptrollers General and eight Assistant Comptrollers General. He said, “If we had added that to what we have generated it would have surpassed what we have, so that is the down side of why we were not able to meet the target in 2015.”[/color] Ali who expressed the hope that the Service will surpass its target for 2016 in view of the tools already put in place by the management, added, “I hope also that government will once again look at those policies and see how they can be fine-tuned.” As part of efforts to meeting the 2016 target, the CGC said he has gone round the various Commands where he urged officers to work harder as well as help the agency clear the correct the bad impression the public has about it. The newly decorated officers include DCGs Suleiman Ibrahim Idris, Grace Adeyemo, Dan Ugo, Paul Ukaigwe, Abubakar Umar and Austen Warikoru. The ACGs include Sanusi Umar, Aremu Olatunji, Chidi Augustine, Azarema Abdulkadir among others. While congratulating the officers, he underscored the fact that their promotion did not come by way of lobby or compromise but based purely on merit from available records. Charging the officers, Ali said, “I expect nothing less than the best. I expect from you henceforth hard work, commitment and drive for the best. My mission in the NCS is to make it the best of Service not only within Nigeria but across the nations. “My mission is to make sure we clean ourselves of all the bad impression that we carry along, my mission is to ensure that we meet all the mandate set for us by the government and I believe that all of you will have no other mission than to fall in with that and make sure that 2016 is put on the record as one of the best years of the NCS.” http://leadership.ng/news/489616/customs-collects-n903bn-revenue-2015-ali 12 Likes 1 Share |

Gradually but surely we are having a custom service we all will be proud off. Ali was an excellent choice from Buhari to head this service. That is why I keep saying that let Buhari continue to govern while wailers continue to wail aimlessly till 2023. I have no doubt that expectations from customs for the year 2016 to fund the budget will be met. Nigeria is currently in the hands of good and competent hands no doubt. 126 Likes 4 Shares |

It should be noted that he only assumed office August 2015. Assuming he had been the head since the beginning of the year, surely much more than this figure would have been realised. Very soon, corruption will be a thing of the past in the custom service. 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Demdem2:i hope so too, but we must temper our expectation with the ban of 41 imported items, he made mentioon that the customs lost out on potential 250 billion income because of the ban in the space of 3-4 months i guess in 2015. 8 Likes |

chinchum: U Av a good point there no doubt. However, if we are to factor in the fact that between January and August and when Ali took over, customs was declaring whatever she deemed fit including unnecessary waivers that has been lifted now coupled with excessive loopholes associated with our collection system, I feel it's fair to say that a minimum of a thrillion naira shouldn't be difficult to meet. Am confident it will be surpassed significantly. 15 Likes |

Day169: The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), one of the major revenue generating arteries of the government raked in about N977.09 billion in 2014. [url] http://sunnewsonline.com/new/customs-generates-n977-09bn-revenue-in-2014/[/url] 977 billion Naira in 2014 and 903 billion Naira in 2015. Revenues have clearly dropped and this fits in with my long-running theme that there is little evidence that revenue collection is improving now we are suppossedly in or moving towards a zero-corruption era. 14 Likes |

Interesting! "Nigeria is an importing nation" talk yielding results, levies and taxes would contribute to the nation's pot. Let's continue importing as usual and gradually shed light on the exportation angle. We will become an exporting nation soon enough. 2 Likes |

Day169:It was N977bn in 2014. However, we have to factor the fact that 41 items were banned since August of this year which the NCS says has cost them over N200bn in revenue. I believe NCS will bring in more than N1tn in 2016. Fingers crossed. 9 Likes |

4Play:Have you considered that 41 items have resulted in loss of over N200bn in 2015? If that fact is taken into consideration, the customs has done better in 2015 than in 2014 and we should expect even better performance in 2016. 11 Likes |
