The Comptroller-General of Customs, retired Col. Hameed Ali, on Tuesday announced a code number for efficient and effective vehicle duty clearance verification.

Ali disclosed this at a media stakeholders meeting in Abuja. Customs CG, Hameed Ali Ali said that the essence of the meeting was to have a roundtable with stakeholders to come up with solution to avoid causing hardship to Nigerians in regards to duty payment on old vehicles and verification.

He said that customs had taken further step to ensure that Nigerians, who wanted to verify the authenticity of their customs duty clearance, could do so at the comfort of their homes with the use of their mobile phones. “For effective and easy customs duty clearance verification, you can dial or send SMS to these numbers 094621597 with your vehicle C-number, the year you paid the duty and the port or location where the vehicle came through into the country.

“Immediately all that information is given, just in five minutes you will get a response whether your vehicle duty clearance is genuine or not,’’ Ali said. He said the essence of the numbers was to ensure stress free verification, to motor dealers and innocent Nigerian vehicle owners.

According to him, for easy traffic flow, the last number which is 7 in the digits 094621597 can be either changed to 8 or 9, to get response faster with different customs personnel on duty at every point in time. Ali said that Nigerians misunderstood customs intention regarding duty payment on old vehicles, adding that the excise was actually meant for motor dealers.

He added that customs later decided to give innocent private vehicle owners, who after verification, might find out that their vehicles had no genuine duty clearance to take advantage of the 60 per cent rebate.

Stupid move from same old troops, they should ask for a customs clearance for everything then to know if it's clearance certificate is fake- laptops, shoes, toothpick, pencils, condoms etc
Morons... they wont concentrate on doing the actual work of fighting smuggling and and entrenched corruption in the service.
And if that old man that is insulting our collective intelligence by refusing to wear uniform, a laid down principle of service, continues to flaunt his ignorant pride- sack him!!!

Masculity:




Sack who


Oga Ali continue doing the good work forget about the poster above me, I will take care of him.

Another stupid move ..is it my duty to know which port my car came through when i am not an importer or a car dealership . If this man is smart he will know that he should direct his activities to corrupt customs officials, the ministry of finance and car dealer

ikp120:

This clearly shows that you neither have a car nor know how clearing of stuffs at customs works . The importation and clearance details of any car you buy are clearly stated on the car custom papers.

Mboi2:

That's what you get when you have an old man that is supposed to be resting at home as a boss.
This is rubbish. I love GEJ's idea of fighting corruption. He said that the best way to fight corruption is not by putting people in the crates but by blocking the loop holes in those institutions that dwell in corruption. What this Ali should do is to sanitize the custom and make sure no vehicle passes through without paying the appropriate duty. Who helped those car dealers to clear the cars without paying duty? Custom. Who cleared container of arms? Customs. So Ali concentrate on cleaning the custom not asking people to do this and that.

SalamRushdie:


Why should i know how customs works ..For your info ever car have bought in my life was bought brand new off reputable dealeships here in Lagos and I paid in full one lump sump..i have never bought a used car so i dont even know if my papers have have any customs paper...Still bought a brand new car for my mum recently and they just sent it from a VI show room straight to her i didnt even bother loolking and the car I swear and i have not seen it till date I swear

Nbote:
Some of U lauding dis move by d customs are jus bootlickers who think because dey don't have cars yet it doesn't concern dem... Do u ppl realize all d routes used by d so called smugglers to bring in vehicles have some form of Customs check post or d other ryt? It's dis same custom posts dat sell tags to these smugglers and all dey do is wen dey get to each post dey simply giv dem d relevant tags as evidence and any other extras dey might want and allowed to pass... Instead of blocking d numerous loopholes dat has made customs one of d most corrupt organizations in d country, dey are busy going afta private citizens who got vehicles. If u're serious about vehicle clearance den d whole process shld b synchronized.. No vehicle shld b registered without d requisite customs clearance.. Hundreds of rifles were cleared thru d customs few weeks back with d same customs claiming dey have no record of who did.. D same goes for so many other items which customs top shots are all involved in.. Let's jus stop fooling ourselves. Go to the northern bothers and see things for urself instead of coming on nairaland to impress urselves..

That olokpa with a whip is my favorite meme, it is used at flogging silly comments like the one you just did above
