The Order 101 recipient of the Empire award from the Oder of Nigeria Entity, High Chief (Dr) Enoch Fada has commended the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) Col Hameed Ali (retd) for raising the bar of internally generated revenue of the service.
Dr Fada who is also the recipient of the ‘Harbinger of Peace’ award from the Indigenous Ethnic Youths Leaders of Nigeria (IEYLN) said the NCS has set a revenue generating precedent for other revenue generating agencies to emulate.
According to him, “I was particularly impressed with the realisation of N2.14 trillion by the NCS within 10 months in 2022. That is the kind of result oriented work that the Nigerian youths would like to be seeing going forward because most of the people in powers will only work for themselves and their families, but with what we are seeing in NCS I think it’s worth emulating by others.
“I am not surprise when President Muhammadu Buhari conferred on him the Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) recently. The, CFR conferrement, however, underlines the level of appreciation President Muhammadu Buhari accords to hard work.Dr Fada who is also the spokesman of Sardauna Forum of Nigeria and King of Nigerian youths said, he was also thrilled with the deployment of technology and scaling up of data usage in the NCS operations.
It will be recalled that NCS CG Hamid Ali recently at ministerial briefing organised by the Presidential Communication Team at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja disclosed that, “we have moved our revenue from N876 billion to N2.14 trillion as at today.
“We are pushing to achieve N3.019 trillion target by the end of the year, in 2022. But in the worst case scenario, we will hit nothing less than N2.5 trillion at the end of the year,” he stated.
