Comptroller-General of Customs Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd), officially resumed his position on Thursday.
The new Customs boss stated that President Muhammadu Buhari assigned him to do three basic things in the service.
During his maiden meeting with the management of the service in Abuja, Ali listed the three mandates as;
-To increase revenue generation.
-To restructure Customs.
-To reform Customs.
A statement was released to this effect by Customs spokesperson, Wale Adeniyi.
The statement quoted Ali to have said: “The mandate he (Buhari) has given me are three basic things: go to Customs, reform Customs, restructure Customs and increase the revenue generation. Simple.
I don’t think that is ambiguous, I don’t think that is cumbersome. It is precise and I believe that is what all of you are here to do.”
