President Muhammudu Buhari has directed the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, to transfer relief items in various customs warehouses to designated officials for onward distribution to Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs.
The Service Public Relations Officer, Wale Adeniyi, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Sunday.
According to Mr. Adeniyi, the Comptroller General has set up a national committee that would coordinate and manage the movement and the transfer of seized relief items to give effect to the President’s directive.
He said the relief items currently in government warehouses for distribution to the IDPs included goods that had been forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“It is important to stress that these items are only those that have been condemned properly in the competent court of law and have been forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
“They include food items like rice, vegetable oil, spaghetti and essential items like soap, used clothing materials, mosquito nets, beddings and others,’’ he said.
Mr. Adeniyi said that members of the committee were drawn from Customs Service, Army, Air Force, Police, Immigration Service and the EFCC.

That's corruption

This is a good development that will reduce the hardships in the various IDPs instead of letting the material to waste or be shared among corrupt government officials as was the case before.

Descartes:
That's corruption

Sorry you are in the wrong thread

What happens to the seized cars

Descartes:
That's corruption

And what do you call importing goods on contraband list?

Descartes:
That's corruption

This is the most boldfaced corrupt so called democratic government in the world.

1. the presidents aid criminally smuggles in forged budget into the senate, and he is still a free man.
2. the government is enmeshed in nepotism
3. the government contravenes court rulings
4. the government violates the right of citizens at will

Hopefully the items won't miss road to the market or custom officers homes!!!

See the perpetual wailers up there!

It's no longer surprising to see them wailing uncontrollably and senselessly since their incompetent lord lost election. May they forever wail till end of time. Amen.

@ topic, it's a very welcome development especially if we consider the fact that previously forfeited items as these ones were practically shared by top Customs officers.

1. The government pardoned alams

Buhari and APC are busy institutionalising corruption in every sector of the economy

Hmmmm

Smh

Very soon we will soon here of missing contraband for IDPs.

Yeye govt

How many Aböki get house before? Why IDPS alone when there are motherless homes also. Na just to favour the northerners alone. Na chickens dey claimed has bad chemical dem wan give them chop? Abi na the tin tomatoes they called bad? Funny country.

Where is lalasticlala sef?

Anyway, just draw up inventory and distribute accordingly. One 50kg bag of rice should be sufficient for 50children per day. So if we have seized 200bags of rice from smugglers, the kids would have plenty to eat for the next one year.

Amazing decision and Sai Buhari

Baba is always on point.. ..including cars abi ?

Mr Bubu you mean am?


But I think these goods were seized bcoz it is not good for consumption, or are they all contractband, anyway if e no go kill them na good news.

But the Ogas on top will use this medium to move some goods for personal gain

This man don dey craze

Baba has shared the "Five percenter's" goods to the destitutes in Arewa republic...

*Runs away*

.

then those whom items were seized can then pounce on the displaced persons Shey?

People can't fuccking be satisfied!!!

people from certain region spent millions of money to import items but Buhari diverted the item to the sides of his norther brothers & sisters. I pity those igbo wey dey invest their life savings i hausaland e.g Jim Iyke, Genevieve Nnaji etc thank God sey I don wise & don stop import biz.

So it means customs will be seizing more goods for bubu almajiri people

note that goods are mostly owned by igbo

Apc is a scam

It's a good one from the president. The hardship would be reduced to a minimum. I hope the customs officials won't highjack the matrials.... Well the new custom boss no dey smile
