More Trouble For Hameed Ali As Reps Order Probe by Baze1(m): 7:26pm On Mar 16, 2017 |
On a day Colonel Hameed Ali, who heads the Nigerians Customs Service faced the wrath of the Senate for not wearing uniform, his agency became the subject of another probe at the House of Representatives. The House on Thursday in Abuja mandated its Committee on Customs and Excise to investigate the failure of the agency to auction confiscated goods. This followed the adoption of a motion on the “Need to Investigate the Failure of the Nigerian Customs Service to Auction Confiscated Goods’’. The sponsor of the motion, Rep. Prestige Ossy (Abia-PDP) said that ban on the auction of goods seized by the NCS had resulted to the forfeiture of such goods to the Federal Government. Ossy expressed worry that since the ban took effect in 2015, “it had resulted to the proliferation of seized goods at various formations of the Nigerian Custom Services’’. He said that goods seized in large numbers from different parts of the country included vehicles, consumables, clothing materials and containers of assorted household goods. The lawmaker said that instead of auctioning the seized items worth billions of naira, the service left them to degrade. He said “most of these goods, especially the vehicles with Duty Paid Value (DPV) worth over N6 billion, are rapidly depreciating . “The Customs service will eventually spend huge amount of money in disposing them when it ought to have generated huge revenue for the government by auctioning them before they wither away,’’ he said. Ossy said that the service had announced the establishment of an auction sale website in 2015, but said two years on, the website had not materialised. “The failure to auction goods in its custody had denied the Federal Government over N1 trillion which ought to accrue to it from the auctioning of those goods,’’ he said. After the adoption of the motion, the house passed it to the Committee on Customs and Excise to investigate and report back in eight weeks. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/trouble-hameed-ali-reps-order-probe/ |

Good! So much wastage in this country! If u won't dispose of seized goods in a sustainably profitable manner then leave them alone with the owners! |
