The Senate has ordered the Comptroller General, CG, of the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, Hameed Ali, to reappear before it in his complete uniform next week Wednesday.
The Senate was irked by the insistence of the Customs to continue with the policy in spite of a resolution by the upper legislative chamber on Tuesday that the plan be put on hold.
A group of lawyers known as Public Interest Lawyers League, PILL, has faulted the proposed Auto Duty Payment Policy, which will soon be enforced by the Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, after the expiration of a one-month grace period – March 13 to April 12.
The service said it had made some adjustments to the policy and believes that the senate would give its endorsement, especially after the Comptroller General meets the lawmakers to explained the details.
