Dangote don finish this country

I can bet my left ball that the government cronies like Dangotes, etc will constitute 98%

WhisperedNoise:
The blame game has started. APC is a finished party.

When they arrested emefiele they didn't call buhari

Just call it N1.3trn dash to his Fulani brothers Dangote and co

Buhari is a goat. The biggest failure I ever see.

No need to read any epistle about him

Una dey craze

And when it wasn’t lost what were you or using the money for … still collecting loans o

Rubbish

FreeStuffsNG:
This is misleading. Customs kept setting new records of revenue and surpassing its records year on year, how can such gains now be mischievously regarded as loss when it was such incentive that increased the customs revenue. Lately, media reports have been trying to twist reports of officials of the current as if their feedbacks are indicting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's predecessor. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Buhari came to steal, kill and destroy Nigeria.

Were the waivers and concessions for free? It should be about give and get. They are also means of encouraging investors and keeping price of products affordable.
The real question is what is the cost-benefit of granting them.

The question should not be about the revenue lost from the waivers but why were the waivers given and if the goals for giving the waivers have been achieved or not.

We have a customs service that is very corrupt and unable to secure the borders and also very inhumane with ridiculous tariffs they impose which is driving hyper inflation in the country.

If this government is serious, a serious light should be beamed on the activites of the Nigerian customs service.

At the bolded,
The Federal government through the Minister of Finance imposes the tariff for goods every year.
Customs only implement these tariff with a lot of discretion because if customs follows the tariff to the letter,very few people in this country will be able to import or export anything!

Secondly it is the same ministry of Finance that issues waivers to political cronies and friends for supporting the party in power.
Waivers are exemptions from payment of customs duty which is supposed to be a method of support to young industries on order to grow the economy but what politicians in the Finance ministry have converted these waivers to is a form of party patronage to support members of the political party that helped them into government.
Dangote has been one of the greatest beneficiaries of government waivers in the last 20 years.
The ministry of Finance should be held responsible for misuse of customs duty waivers since 1999.

Why did Buhari give waivers to cement and sugar producers?

because his brothers re the largest producers, borders were closed in southern Nigeria but northern Nigeria was open, dangote and bua were the only ones freely passing the borders , one Nigeria my foot

Buhari is a waster and calamity even Tinubu knew that before he presented him to Nigerians and this was driven by his selfish political ambition which he has achieved.

E tire me o. I don't like these blame games. If the current admin is not OK with the decision of the predecessor, let them reverse it. It's obvious that the Customs officials don't want a fully digitalised system

Only God knows why He allowed a devil called buhari to rule nigeria

Especially in a country where many people call themselves God's prophet

buhari only destroyed, killed and stole

Fair enough but that is calling six of sticks or half a dozen of another....

If the comptroller general can call out the government for waivers why can't they talk about the ridiculous tarriffs and the revenue lost due to the corruption in the service which has enabled smuggling in epic proportions??

Waivers is sometimes good when it is in overall interest of many Nigerians. I read a report where many expensive and costly equipments including hospital equipments bought by FG are rotting away at our ports because MDAs involved couldn't afford to pay heavy duties.

abi... As if Emefiele acted on his own.

tinubu knew very well that buhari was of no good, he has to for his own political calculation to succeed him



The extent buhari wreck the whole nation maybe he didn't know

Stop deceiving yourself with this lie. How many times are we going to tell you guys that borders closing even affected northerners more than southerners? I have read it here on Nairaland where custom officers chased smugglers' car into the open market in the North and that one ran over people thereby killing many people instantly

Nawa ooo

Why is Buhari still working free, why not call him him by his name to answer? Enough of feeding the public with the grand misfit called that name.

Rubbish.. but they still blame Buhari for increased duty clearance on vehicles and so on..


They will still blaim him after customs generated the highest ever recorded during bubu time

very true

...same custom kept making and breaking records in terms of revenue generation during Buhari's tenure...

Have they blaimed him for that..
How is that a loss..if they were recording 1 trillion plus in revenue..as against less than 600bn in GEJ time

You need to understand somethings. The presnt Comptroller general was appointed by Tinubu and not Buhari.
He can afford to call out Buhari because he owes him no allegiance.
Do not be surprised if the same sort of waivers for a whole year are still being granted by the present minister of Finance to political cronies who helped Tinubu into power.

As a civil servant there is a limit to how you can oppose a government who appointed you into office except you want to commit job suicide. That is why every new appointee will criticise and point fingers at the appointee who preceeded him.

The previous Comptroller general Hameed Ali pointed fingers at his predecessor Dikko Inde throughout his tenure until he left the administration . The present Comptroller general Adeniyi is now pointing fingers at Ali for the waivers he granted throughout his eight year tenure.

You mean into the pocket of cusyom officers cos the waiver will never be implemented by the authority responsible for it.
BUA THEY SAY IS 3500 BUT E NEVER SHOW FOR STREET.

Not unexpected! 😂

Wetin make that guy marry Zara before?

Na unto his family importation business thingy naa…

The rich marry for business and investments,
the poor marry for “love” and childbearing… 🥱

That's why in my earlier post I clear highlighted the need for a serious government to take a good look at the NCS.
