Niger Deltans feel the pain of incarceration, the pain of exclusion, the pain of relegation to the background, how many Niger Deltans are in management level of NNPC.

Import not inport

you are not from Niger Delta you are an impostor

The Ethnic conspiracy that spiral viral change slogan against a perceived enemy is no longer holding. they now turn against themselves, Nigerians are suffering; food stuffs prices are going up everyday. The Change has Change gear.

Apc will plunge Nigeria into anarchy if these trends are not addressed. I Hope this change will last.

How do you expect Buhari to make positive decision when he has no certificate

These guys has mortgaged the southwest Nigeria.

Confused as to why bukolasaraki not Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) is being blamed for wardrobe allowance

stave9ja:

It wouldn't had make difference both saraki and lawan are from the north

amnesty7:
Op to show us that you really know what you are saying, make your categorisation by geo-political zones. Also, remember that none of the above officer holders went their because of where they came from. Was it not mostly PDP senators from the South East and South West that elected Saraki?

Us gave 5m doll and Apc Propagandist take up to 5b doll what a party

Not 5b but 5m this is the reason APC will continue the lies without doing any concrete thing to show for it.

It has started in the Nass Election and very soon you see more of this in coming days. Gej Re-election failed bid is actually a true Change that will turn around every aspect of Nigeria existence.

Is this the CHANGE you voted for.

Lagos Port was politics the first port in nigeria were actually in south south. the word okreka cloth was derived from one of the first port in Nigeria Okrika in river state

IyaIode:
Is it Onitsha port? Wetin come be ibo wahala. Na only ona dey import business. Apart from second hand and substandard fake goods, what else is your business in the port

The previous Govt did not implement it until CHANGE YAZO(COME)

OkuDiOver1:
so from your analysis the increase in tariff will affect only igbos and not Nigerians as a whole? The decision to increase tariff was taken by ECOWAS which Nigeria is a member. So how does it translate to "Buhari's tactical bullet against igbos?

Tinubu should learn from this

Vikkie14:
Hero of Democracy.
Hero of Today

Ibos control all importations

Igbos will simply hike prices.

There was confusion at the Lagos ports on Wednesday as importers and clearing agents had difficulties clearing their goods following the implementation of the Economic Community of West African States’ Common External Tariff.

All the 16 members of the ECOWAS, including Nigeria, had agreed to introduce a uniform import tariff, pegged at 35 per cent maximum, from January this year, to facilitate trade within the region.

Although the Nigeria Customs Service said the policy had taken effect on April 11, it was not enforced until Monday.

But the importers, who claimed not to be aware of this development, said many of them were asked to pay double what they use to pay as tariff on imported materials.

They also said the tension generated by the rate adjustment was heightened on Monday and Tuesday when they could not assess the Customs online portal.

They expressed fears that the development could result in another port congestion as many might be unable to immediately pay the new tariff.

An importer, whose consignment of electronic metal detector apparatus had just arrived at the port, complained to one of our correspondents that there was no prior notice about the adjustment in tariff, adding that she discovered on Tuesday that what she needed to pay on her goods had doubled.

The importer said she had already obtained the Pre-Arrival Assessment Report from the Customs stating the tariff she had to pay on her goods but that when she attempted to log on to the Customs portal, she could not, only for bank officials to inform her that the tariff she had to pay had doubled.

A clearing agent, who spoke with one of our correspondents on the condition of anonymity, said, “They (Customs) adjusted the rates. Ours was increased from five to 30 per cent, although we learnt that some had theirs reduced from 40 to 30 per cent, but these category of importers were in the minority.

“We could not access the Customs portal on Tuesday. My client’s assessment jumped up by N2.5m. And if you pay anything less, the system will raise an alert because it is automated, and you are likely to be interrogated as if you want to circumvent the system.”

But the Public Relations Officer, NCS, Tin Can Island Port Command, Mr. Chris Osunkwo, said the ECOWAS CET was a two-way tariff, adding that while some importers would have to pay more on certain goods, others would pay less.

Details of the new tariff show that a zero per cent duty is payable on goods imported under social and necessary items category; five per cent on raw materials; 10 per cent on intermediate goods; and 20 per cent on finished goods not produced locally.

Osunkwo also said in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents that while 35 per cent rate would be paid on imported used vehicles, 70 per cent had been imposed on new vehicles to encourage auto industries to assemble vehicles locally.

According to a statement by the Public Relations Officer, NCS, Mr. Wale Adeniyi, the new tariff comprises an Import Adjustment Tax list, which involves additional taxes on 177 tariff lines of the ECOWAS CET; and a national list consisting of items whose import duty rates have been reviewed to encourage more development in strategic sectors of the economy.

It stated that the Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko, had directed the immediate enforcement of the tariff provisions by all Customs area commands and urged all stakeholders to comply.

He also allayed fears about fresh port congestion resulting from the ECOWAS CET implementation, noting that there were usually initial teething problems at the start of any policy.

is not the same EFCC that freed Silver of curruption

Metrofox:
frankly I think it's time to activate the EFCC. It's necessary, all is fair in war especially when you're fighting a hydra headed monster-corruption that will stop at nothing to get the job done. I'm sure that with time Baba will realise this & unleash jagaban. Even the greatest empires and emperors were neck deep in scandals, politics is a dirty game where the end justifies the means. We can't afford to lose this war against PDP & corruption so soon.... time will tell. I forsee a lot of blackmail in the coming days this is just the beginning

WHAT HAPPEN? DID I HIDE YOUR MEDICATION

STOP TAKING OGOGORO.... IT KILLS

Senators who stayed away from Tuesday’s inauguration of the national assembly have finally been sworn in by the new senate president, Bukola Saraki. Ahmad Lawan, who was the preferred APC candidate, and George Akume, who was the preferred deputy, were both sworn in on Wednesday morning. They were absent at the inauguration as the ruling party had called for an emergency meeting simultaneously. APC had, in a press statement on Tuesday evening, instructed the absentee senators to report for the traditional swearing-in.
