"“Customs headquarters was awarded for N2.7 billion then, but today the project is going to about N30 billion."


Okay Mr Senator, I hear you. But your own senate budgeted N37 Billion ($105 million) for ordinary facelift or renovation of the senate building compared to Customs that is building a new headquarters. Who is the scammer here? Remember you live in a "glass house".

Half of the idiots quoting about this, can you explain this anomaly? Or you are smugglers who are pained by Hameed Ali's hefty blows against your trade.

Stalwert:
The guy sound like his smuggled car was forced to cough duty fees. Anyone who knows basic government procurement will tell you many times the construction of a building and it's furniture contract are awarded simultaneously, he simply is saying many things without the proper context.

If you claim custom officials are corrupt, there is no doubt that is why the government had to shut the borders but to claim customs has not improved is a deadly lie from the pit of hell, we have witnessed improvement in duties collection and overall revenue generation from customs. But much has to be done in ending corruption by customs officials.

Has hameed Ali performed well in the Area's of Administration? Someone that cannot conduct promotion exercise successfully. Guy has nothing to offer for all i care.

adekolaelect:
but who tell you what the senator said abt Ali is true? So everybody most agree with what the senator said bcs we want the country to progress? Are you telling us what the senator said is to make the country to progress?you are one way direction.

Maybe instead of crucifying the messenger first, we should all have lent our voices to demand for justice , truth and accountability in a true progressive manner , and forget partisan, ethnic and religious affiliation for once.

The same way NEPA improve.

Some Nigerians are just sit-down de look

Dpharisee:
I wont say anything against this government here, the rate at which Yoru... Muslims attack anyone with contrary opinion including fellow Yoru..s is just appalling and they will quickly occupy page one.
Operation Amotekun should also focus on de-afonjarising these set of people blinded by religion to reduce sabotage by those whose allegiance is to the Sultan, even when the Sultan will never permit them to sight the moon and announce on Radio Nigeria Ibadan

Aren't you just as guilty of what you accuse them of doing with this your epistle?
Look its a free world and the last time I checked, PDP polled 11 million plus in the last presidential election,
11MILLION PEOPLE disagree with 15million people, democracy is about the numbers, try harder next time, if your party has not been able to convince the so called Yoruba Muslims, then court them as you have ELEVATED them to the position of power brokers
The right you have NOT to support this government is the same right others have NOT to support your party, get over it already

rejoice4eva:
Some of the comments above is the reason Nigeria is where she is. And we want to be developed, yet we are supporting mediocrity. Is anyone above the law or unaccountable?

I'm telling you!
Imagine their comments!

The Senator even gave some direct words that should help them in Thinking, but No!, they choose to be stu*pid.

Na WA!

No wonder he is seeing all the flaws as it’s only natural for well experienced professionals to identify anomalies in their field.

It’s just like making a retired customs officer the chief of army staff. It would be very awkward to the rank and file of the Nigerian Army, and they would notice a lot protocols being broken due knowledge and experience gaps.

However, contributions of Alli cannot all be problematic as we’ve seen figures and targets being surpassed as is customary with the Nigerian Customs.

Gforce2015:


The guy use to be part of the custom top boss.

as far as I am concerned hameed Ali is the most performing appointee by PMB,no body is perfect

I bet you do not know who Francis Ade Fadahunsi is, go and ask about him at FOU ikeja.

Ali might be generating revenue but he is destroying the custom service with his soldier pattern

You are wrong is a Custom Officer before ( a custom boss ), he knows better.

Anyone who knows Hameed Ali right from his days as a Military man to present day would know this is just a bogus accusation. That guy is a no nonsense Disciplinarian. Him no send anybody. Ask people who know about him.
I'm sure this fadahunsi probably wanted a favour and was turned down hence the blackmail. They should ask Dino how it turned out at the end with Ali...

The president won't sack any custom Boss. The custom boss is one of the most intelligent person in this administration. Imagine an individual selling a suggestion to this administration to close border and the president bought the idea. Anything/any person that will sell an idea/suggestion to the president, can't just be sacked. As for me. The custom boss is doing a great job. The man calling for his sack should shift one side.

Let's call a spade a spade for once. All the senator has said is true and much more the Customs boss is corruption personified. 1.6 billion to recruit?
HQ from 2.7 to 30 billion still uncompleted?
When you have dealings with them, you just have settle everyone of them.
Most worrisome is the fact that borders are closed, yet all contraband materials still enter! E.g am still buying polished rice o..fire arms smuggling is making our Nation reeling from insecurity..


That guy has got to go. Am sure say na aboki he will hire to fill the 3,200 positions... Too bad!

So giving a man 1.6bn Naira to recruit 3200 people is your hallmark of accountability in the new Customs?

You are right.

“You don’t need to carry guns and start running after those people who have settled your boys. It is wrong, they paid bribes to the boys at the border and they are still running after them now.

He didn't even know the implications of his statement. I think he has personal grudge against the custom boss

Words like this:

Ali is a hero of the moment. May be all those touring bribes or whatever the name they gave it wasn't forthcoming, who knows his end game. But sure thing is that whatever he has against the man is personal.

What did Fadahunsi do to better Customs when he was still in service. Am not covering for Ali and d accusations made against him but the truth be told, the customs was rotten before he assumed command

Just listen to yourself, pathetic! When custom weren't being destroyed by Ali with his soldier pattern, what were their achievements and success rate? Tell us now. At least, now that Ali is destroying the custom, we all saw the outcome compared to the past. Not only in terms of revenue improvement but also being more active than ever.

Your senator shamelessly said this:

“You don’t need to carry guns and start running after those people who have settled your boys. It is wrong, they paid bribes to the boys at the border and they are still running after them now.

That's what it is, it is a personal campaign against the man.

You don't need anyone to tell you this now. You are only looking for attention. Is there any country that can ban an item and such item won't pass through at all? The target is to reduce it to barest minimum, aunty. It is a common sense scenario.

you need to check his profile as always the best hitman for the customs FOU. also chairman of ECOWAS anti smuggling and border patrol. go to his website @ www.fada.org.

Hope your common sense will not kill you uncle

Thank you sir, the senator is playing to the gallery towards achieving some intent we don't know of.
