Wear your uniform or resign - Senate orders Customs DG

- The Senate has summoned the Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service

- The Comptroller General is to appear in uniform or resign from the service

The Comptroller General of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), Col. Hameed Ali (retd) is in some trouble with the Nigerian Senate.

The Senate has asked the Colonel Ali to appear “in plenary in uniform” on Wednesday, March 15, “unfailingly.”

Part of the problem is the refusal of the Comptroller General to suspend action on the proposed clamp down on vehicles without duty payment, as ordered by the legislature.

Also he has been asked to appear before the lawmakers in the chamber in Customs uniform, which the NCS boss had refused to wear.

If he refused to comply, the lawmakers called for Ali’s removal of he failed to comply with directives from the Senate.

Meanwhile about a month ago, the appointment of 48 senior officers in the NCS has been terminated following an ongoing reorganization.

The appointments of three officers were terminated, 45 officers were dismissed and 11 retired.

The service asked the 45 dismissed officers and the three that were terminated to go for professional misconduct.
