Recall that the Nigerian Senate had expanded its panel currently investigating alleged N30 trillion revenue leakage in the Nigeria Customs Service following revelations of more leakages.

The Chairman, Committee on Customs Excise and Tariff, Hope Uzodinma, had revealed the leakages.

The panel discussions metamorphosed into uniform wearing of Customs Boss, Hammed Ali that overshadowed the probe.

The Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Colonel Hameed Ali (rtd) had also in December, 2016 shunned the Nigerian Senate public hearing on a Bill for an Act to Repeal the Customs and Excise Management Act Bill, 2016.



The public hearing was informed by the Senate’s move to repeal and re-enact the 58-year old law, in order to enhance NCS’s efficiency in the 21st Century.
