Firs and customs are two different posts!
Abi is it the firs that is chasing importers,exporters at the sea and land points?
This move no make sense!
Abi is firs now under npa or border control

You are beginning to sound like a beneficiary of this fraudulent customs. Huncle, this move will probably be the best law this government will enact and implement.

Nigeria needs to devise means of blocking all the corruption loopholes. That's the best way to fight corruption. If there's no money to steal, how does corruption happen?

I agree with the bold.
But this is the problem how to curb underreporting of revenue at your sea,land points of entry/exit.
Wether you like it or not the customs is the official representative of govt at any point of entry/exit.
So someone saying customs cannot collect revenue on the behalf of govt is seriously lying .which other parastatal is trained to mount and supervise your entry/exit point.you want to posts firs officials there(you will reverse you decision under 24 hrs to customs)

While it sounds good to hear, let's not forget the issue of VAT which the FG might be using as it plans an escape route.

It is customs that you will meet at first contact!
You will run into serious problems if at first contact the only thing you are showing customs official is a receipt that they themselves cannot verify!

This is one of the reasons why tinapa had serious problems!
People why presenting unverifiable and frivolous receipts!
By the time customs did investigation (people were found to be defrauding the fg)

Is it now that is better. I sent something home this December everything inside is about €400 for my family members.. Customer is saying they should pay 198,000 naira before the can collect it. Who does that? How did they arrive at that conclusion for clothes, chocolate shoes etc? A package weighing 17kg

That is why I said earlier that now should go on automation!
If fact everything is about automation because people want to know exactly what they are paying for ,how the computations came about,who to pay to and the exact processes involved!

By the time you go through fg list and conditions you will agree with me that it is the fg and all it's agencies that are complicit in this overpricing of goods.once you just bring anything import into Nigeria (hiaaan!!)

Get ready for double taxation from customs. One for FG the second for customs.

Just that simple.

Customs will still collect their bribe from the importers. Nothing can stop that.

I am thinking please, what do I do about the package? I am sure that 198,000 is outrageous
Re: FG To Stop Customs From Revenue Collection by azikiweironsi(m): 8:29pm On Dec 16, 2021
Nice move. It would stop the menace of raiding markets for imported rice and others.., It reduce the incessant killings of themselves in office because of bribes and postings to lush areas such as airports, borders and seaports.... It would stop the crazy ideas of new graduates looking for jobs in customs seeing it as the next to none place to work. I'm pretty sure the bills cannot be passed without some fight and intensed lobbying from the service. Good luck to FG on this.

This is a good move because it's getting into their heads, it's not uncommon to hear them say na we dey generate revenue for government or na we dey police and soldiers.
