The second most corrupt institution after NNPC is recognized and respected globally?

What have the career officers been doing all these years, if not exhibiting kleptomania and incompetence?

This is a groupie, not a group.

I agree with u on this my bro.And the new Customs boss is incorruptible,i even thought he would be made to head EFCC because of his antecedents.

DOLAPO AGAIN

Wetin person no go see sef. Afterall fayose appointed a carpenter as a Council boss.

But these wailers were suspiciously silent when dame Patience Jonathan was being sworn in as a permanent secretary in Bayelsa state.

When dem appoint Bianca ojukwu as ambassador, it was not a slap in the face of professional employees of the diplomatic corps Abi?

Well the wanted Change so they shouldnt complain.

Maybe there is no Hausa man in the highest customs office now. So he had to seek an Hausa man from outside.

shegxi:
On this, i stand wit buhari 100%. Wat is going on in custom is an organised fraud and smuggling dat needs an honest and tenacious outsider to fix. Promoting anyone within d ranks wuld have bn same of same. Buhari was spot on with dat. Reform nnpc, firs, npa and customs and see nigeria's revenue soar high.

Gbam I say gbam!

omolami:
This Buhari is a complete dullard. How on earth can he do this to a respected Custom service. That apart, there exists law banning retired military officers from getting appointment in other fed uniform parastatals like customs, immigration and NSCDC etc .Is Buhari lacking quality advisers or yet to have one such that he cannot think properly?

Please enlighten us on this existing law. Thank you.

You people are thieves. This is one appointment that is completely in order and beneficial to the country at large. With dwindling oil revenue and especially with the penchant of Nigerians to import everything thus crucifying the naira revenue from international trade cannot be toyed with to balance the books and stabilise the naira. If the Hameed fellow is indeed disciplined, then it is the right peg to plug the hole the customs has been drilling in our collective wealth. It is your fault. You fellows are too corrupt and barely professional.

Whilst the view and opinions of the writer is valid, ild beg to disagree.

There are times organizations need an outsider who owes no favors to the existing cadre come in to implement a change strategy. The customs as it were are next deep in corruption which has been for over decades. An internal person can't do a good job towards improving lives of us Nigerians.

Where it's said that The service is respected globally makes me cringe. What are the clearing times in Nigeria compared to what holds globally. When you take a financial analytical view, you will know that if 70pc of local consumption is imported, then next to our oil exports, Customs should be our second highest revenue generating unit.

Managing the customs effectively will not only generate revenue but also protect Nigerian businesses by stopping illegal and substandard imports which NAFDAC has to spend our billions in budget to curb.

We are making forwards like never before. Let's come together to support the current administration towards a new Nigeria we can be proud of.

why is it that only northerners are disciplined

AngryNigerian:
...sometimes,it's better to have an outsider head these organizations because the insiders seem to be soaked up in the corrupt ways...so a new blood (esp wen he is disciplined) would do for now

a new HOLY blood can only be gotten outside the Nigerian custom I guess

babafirst:
I agree with u on this my bro.And the new Customs boss is incorruptible,i even thought he would be made to head EFCC because of his antecedents.

yeah, but its going to be an uphill battle for him.

but i very much doubt EFCC would be given to a northerner. too many have held it since inception.

An outsider who is very old and was a soldier can never understand the internal workings of Nigerian customs n will fail badly.

Are u trying to say that it will be good for an Engineer to head NBA in order to cleanse it from corruption

[quote author=MadCow1 post=37454933]Who cares..


If they don't like the appointment, they can resign.. [/quote

It's obvious u don't have a job so there is no career top ambition for u

PMB has indeed kill the professionalism in Nigeria custom career!

akindeleadeolu:
I honestly believe not all Customs officers are corrupt, PMB should have look more inwards before bringing a total novice to come oversee such sensitive govt agency as custom whose operations is more professional.Mr President advisers are doing a bad job for now. This appointment should immediately be reversed to prevent the sartity of the custom profession.

The President has no advisers /ministers.
He takes unilateral decisions maybe because he belongs to nobody.
He should have reasoned that the Customs rank and file may not be happy with the idea of non of their own being their boss. They can really make things difficult for this man and frustrate his efforts - if they want.

Whose illiteracy are you talking about? Definitely yours I sincerely believe.

I believe you do not want to know why the last comptroller-general threw in the towel. It's an assignment for your lazy brain.

The question that should be asked by your illiterate mind is if the president has broken any law with his appointment.

The change is indeed here and if you don't want it head for Otuoke and live in GEJ's paradise where you will serve him better as a shoe shiner.

IdisuleOurOwn:
Well, he has a point.

But the custom of today is too corrupt.
Corruption starts from there.

common sense should tell you that apointing someone who was not a custom officer will breed more corruption and incompetence.

Don't you know that officers will noe do whatever they wish and he will never hear about it. He will be seen as a sheep leading goats...

Na tru tok.

Buhari should as well appoint a customs man to head the military. This is plain wrong.

A case of square pegs and round holes

You're one of the few smart folks around, that's why I'm doing this. There's really no law that stops the President from appointing a non custom man as the head of the agency. Osita Chidoka became the head of FRSC from being an Advisor at Mobil, the gist at the time was that the President was impressed with his research in transport management.

Col Kayode Are was appointed the DG of SSS and he was a retired soldier. There was no noise at the time because these guys where brought in to breathe a fresh lease of life into the system. Buhari is simply doing the same thing. The Nigerian Custom Service is a security organization, the new head is a retired Colonel, do you really think it is a case of square pegs in round holes?

nkowaputa:
U need to get objective. What will one good man achieve in the midst of 99 corrupt people? This appointment tells us that no single person has integrity in the custom. So will the newly appointed be in the office and field? As a matter of fact this appointment will only encourage them to get deeper in their corrupt practice as there is nothing up there for anyone.

Also what about appointing a retired police IG to head the military (COAS), A medical doctor as his pilot and an engineer as governor to cbn.

Brother, PMB is wrong on this. Let's let him know when he is right and wrong.

bro, are u just bn mischievious or u just dnt knw? A team is as good as d leader. A lion can lead a herd of sheep but a sheep can never lead a lion.
A military, police, custom, navy, airforce can work in a top position of security architecture wit little or no problem. Same way an accountant, economist, or finance expert can work in financial institution without any hitch.
A nurse, medical scientist, doctor, pharmicist can become d cmd of an hospital and will run fine.
I gave dose examples to show dat some discipline can intertwine effortlessly without issues, so dose of u using an engineer to go head cbn as examples are just either bn malicious or genuinly ignonrant.
Lastly, leadership is about will and taking decisions. He wuld definately have assitants from within d custom so i dnt see wat d hullabaloo is all about.

They are bleating because their candidates who they had arrang d deals with have been sidelined.

Stop abusing the freedom Internet bestows on you.
You example does not tally. Customs like civil defence is a paramilitary organisation.
A police man can head either of them but either of them cannot head the military or police. It should make sense to you.

The question is Mr. Hamid Ali is ge the first outsider to head custom office? If he is you have a point but on the contrary then you should shot your mouth and concentrate on your job if you are lucky you might head your organization one day.

Bringing an outsider will demoralize d officers. Besides he has no experience in d custom service. I don't see aw corruption will be curbed by putting a square peg in a round hole.

Customs that close airport every minute. Crappy organization. Let them fire all their Ogas

Na only customs? What of NNPC, CBN etc?

They should allow people grow in their careers abeg

Customs may be a paramilitary institution but a round peg must be placed in round holes.

It may be far more complicated than it looks.
