Why then did he accept the job if he finds the uniform so demeaning and beneath him? His not appearing in the uniform is demoralizing for the officers of NCS. However, I blame the Nigerian Senate for confirming his appointment in the first place.
Is Ali a Custom Officer?
No.
Or you think he will just wake up and sew uniform, manipulate rank and fix on himself?

Who are this people we call Senate?
Where were they wen Buhari picked an outsider to head custom?
Why are they so afraid to do the right thing?

They are just rubbing it off on the innocent Ali.

You know, i dont understand these whole noise about this uniform thing... The guy is a retired army officer. He is not a custom officer. The custom act is there. If it is mandatory that a custom director general must wear uniform, it then means that such a personality must be appointed from the customs hierarchy! But Alli is a retired colonel, a former state administrator whose origin is form the army. He shouldn't have been appointed if the spirits of the custom act were followed to the later...

But in the clannish euphoria that followed APCS Pyrrhic victory, every buharis candidate sent to the senate was told to "bow and go". Irrespective of whatever the constitution said. Thats how we ended up with the president becoming the petroleum minister, an illegality that insults the constitution to no end. . Thats how a cabinet that took six solid months to couple together ended up being flooded with political henchmen and administrative bimbos.

Aside: it seems like the senators are fighting their own battle trying to humiliate the man either because he seldom oils their pals as others in that position did in the past. Alli since his assumption of office has been impoverishing Nigerians with weird custom duties but the senate kept quiet. Now ,all hell is let loose about a mere uniform. Something is fishy..

The position of comptroller general is a rank and for commonsense purpose, the colonel should wear his uniform with his rank. For crying out loud, Buhari should call some of his appointees to order..., Nigeria is not banana republic.

SENATE Vs CUSTOMS Vs NIGERIAN CITIZENS

This is what senators don't tell Nigerian citizens.
It is on record that during the last regime most of Nigerian law makers don't pay import duty when they import their bullet proof vehicles including their personal belongings of high value which run into billion of Naira in the name of waiver. They deprive the masses for their legitimate rights for monies that would
have been used to provide basic amenities. For instance a senator or house of reps member or minister or an influential person or a person in the position of power will import a porch car or bullet proof vehicle worth of import duty of N175 million and again without End User Certificate and refuse to pay a duty on it. But an average Nigerian would be compelled to pay duty on items or vehicles of lower value imported either through legitimate route or illegal routes. Is this justice ? Now, this trend has been stopped during the present administration of NCS.

2) During the previous regimes of NCS, senators and house of reps members patronize NCS Headquarters to take advantage of seized goods from Nigerian importers especially goods of high value including expensive vehicles and high value containers to get them from NCS free of charge. This trend has also been stopped during Buhari's dispensation under the leadership of the present CGC.

3) NCS is a revenue and law enforcement agency. If fiscal policies are approved by the government it is the responsibility of NCS to enforce the implementation of the policies. Under this regime the policies will be implemented and enforced without fear or favour or exemption as nobody is above the law including the senators.

4) it is on record, that during the former regimes, contracts of NCS were shared between the former customs management and the influential people in the society including the senators. This dubious practices had also been stopped under the leadership of new customs management. Nigerians should not be deceived by the senators thinking that they are protecting their rights. It is obvious that the senators are making efforts to stop the Comptroller General of Customs not to implement the good policies because they have to pay through their noses for those vehicles they import without proper duty. I am optimistic to say that all the noise being made now by the senators is to protect themselves not the Nigerian masses in order not to pay the correct duty on the expensive imports they import as the policy has retrospective effect of which they are mostly affected. A senator may have to pay huge duties that run into 100 of millions or billions of Naira for porshe cars and bullet proof vehicles they imported in the last regime without proper duty. Don't be deceived by the noise of the senators and the campaign against the good policies of government and the denting the image of NCS. The policy currently being implemented is for the good interest of the Nigerian masses and the general public. The senators and influential people must pay those import duties which is meant for the masses. Live long PMB and live long NCS. Pls be wise.
Please share to orientate Nigerians! !! !!!

Kachi188:
Customs is a uniformed organization. If all his subordinates have to wear uniforms everyday, why should he, as head of customs get a pass to be wearing kaftan to work. Imagine the head of army, navy air force, road safety doing that...

This only happens when you start importing people to head important institutions. if a civilian cannot become COAS...why should you bring an outsider to head customs. That is indirectly putting a cap on how high career custom officers can reach, because comptroller general is a rank..

While the man's attitude is provoking all of us to anger, it appears non of us including the Nigerian Senate is directing our anger to the appropriate section. PMB, appears to be completely loosing control of his appointee or so it appears. If his appointee is saying he can't wear the uniform of an organisation he's heading he shouldn't be waiting for the Senate to booth him out. He certainly is not the only one that can transform the Custom Service. The second case is very closely related. How can DSS be writing the Senate not to confirm an appointee of PMB. The first and the second time? Can we really say, PMB is in control of his government or is it a case of incompetence on his part? Was the Director of DSS not also appointed by the same PMB or could he be playing a game with Magu?. #PMBhaslostcontrol#

Skhibanj1015:
I am not against him wearing or not wearing but as a nation, is that the most serious issue at hand that our so called senators can be seating for? I don't just understand the bunch of guys at the upper chamber.
The worst thing that has happened to us as a nation in this democratic era is governor's forum. They have been seeing themselves as above the law. Leaving government houses to the upper chamber has been their ambitions. This is not good for our democracy.

What isn't important. All the attacks on the legislators is simply self induced perception. Not just with this issue. In several others. I sometimes see it as an attempt to unnecessarily protect the executive.


The CG of customs is not political. Buhari politicised it by insisting an outsider be made CG. If that man can't identify with the organisation in uniform, he should resign. CG position is not a sole administrator position.

If he thinks he can't be politically forced out of that position, he and those who think so, are naive.

The man is not doing anything special. In fact he is a loner in a highly syndicated organisation.

We know the excuse, he is fighting corruption abi? Go to customs office and see for yourself.

I won't forget the stale one " corruption is fighting back"

My problem with him is that he has done nothing in terms of infrastructural development in his home town Otukpo, yet he was two time senate president. If what he knows how to do best is politics without something tangible his people can lay hold on, then, he is a failed politician irrespective of his military background
