Who gives a hoot whether he wears uniform or not?

ogologoamu:
As a former military personnel tradition does not permit you to wear para military uniform. But the same tradition permits you to collect salary from para military organization.


You are only telling us that Buhari is a Coward.

SillyeRabbit:
His reason does not make sense. He should be sacked if he's not ready to comply with Nigeria customs rules. And he's being going about in normal attire since 2015...You can tell this government is a lawless one.

TheHerald:
Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs, Retired Colonel Hameed Ali has explained reasons why he has not been wearing the official uniform of the Customs since his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
It will be recalled Ali was summoned by the committee to explain the reason for the promotion and the sacking of officers without the approval of a board.

Obinna Ogba, a senator from Ebonyi central, speaking at the session, expressed dissatisfaction on why Ali would carry on the duties of CG in civilian attire since he was appointed in 2015.

Ali in his response explained that he does not wear the uniform because he is a retired army officer.

The Customs boss told the Senate Committee on Customs and Excise Duties on Thursday that military tradition does not permit him to wear paramilitary uniform as a retired Colonel.

His defence prompted a stage walked out by member of the Senate Committee when Senator Dino Melaye gave an instance of ‎retired General of the Nigerian Army, Halidu Hannaniya, who wore the uniform of the Federal Road Safety Corps when he emerged as the Corps Marshal.

But Ali again maintained his stand that as a former military personnel, tradition does not permit him to wear para military uniform, arguing that Hannaniya made a mistake.

Hope Uzodinma, the chairman of the committee also faulted the decision of the customs boss to promote and fire officers without recourse to a board.

He said it was illegal of the CG to carry out such administrative assignments without a board in place.

The customs boss blamed the ministry of finance for the delay in the constitution of a board for the NCS.

In response, Uzodinma assured him that the committee would send a letter to the ministry and other relevant bodies for the immediate constitution of the NCS board.

He said: “We are releasing you to go and sew your uniform while we continue with officials of ministry of finance and Central Bank‎ of Nigeria (CBN).”

You are not helping so keep kwayet. The best thing to do is to show proof that he is not following tradition. A retired colonel or army, police can take any job and collect salary after retirement, but now as a retired colonel, does the army tradition forbid you from wearing para-military uniform?? that is the question we need answer to and the army needs to come up with an answer or if you know, quote the section in the army code of ethics etc and not saying things you absolutely know nothing about.

agog:
Law makers leaving the real issues untouched and hammering in irrelevance. The simple question they should ask themselves is if the DG is delivering on its mandate or not instead of hinging on hate-induced uniform matter.

jbcul4ril:
Nigeria and the way we think......how is uniform important to the task? why is it an issue?
Why is our NASS not wearing uniform like overall to chamber?
Naija and daily drama

Mtcheewwww....... arrant nonsense! When he knew that, why did he accept the appointment in the 1st instance. Oga, that's a flimsy excuse. Honestly, everything about this govt is wrong, why would a retired army be appointed as a CG of customs.

The officer due to be appointed as custom boss was from the south east, and rather than that happen, the retired soldier was plugged in as a square peg in a round hole.

Okanokan:
The Senate is now living up to expectation by making sure all appointees of Government particularly those who head paramilitary bodies live by the standard of those institutions.

Fearcom:


Why not suggest a senior customs officer of impeccable character within the system who you know is NOT CORRUPT and recommend him for the job of CS?

Oh wait.....there's none.

Olubukola16:


Obviously not, corruption is everywhere within the civil service and even the private sectors. BTW, are you trying to tell me that the CG in question is a saint?

Fearcom:


I know Ali VERY WELL, right from when he was a military Governor. the main reason for the noise being made is because he has curbed corruption within the customs. A lot of people who are supposed to be ordinary civil servants are stupendously and unbelievably rich with NO TANGIBLE EXPLANATION as to how they came into such wealth with no other source of income or business apart from their job. No more growing fat. No more sharing of revenue running into BILLIONS of naira. it isn't BUSINESS AS USUAL and A LOT of people aren't happy about that......no just look at the new policy they are trying to implement with the clause "No Outsider". hmmm....if we don't kill corruption it will eventually kill Nigeria oh
