Customs generates N1.002trn revenue in 9 months

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has generated revenue of about N1.002 trillion from January to September 2019.

The data received by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) from the Department of Research and Statistics and confirmed by the NCS’s public relations office indicated that the revenue was generated from 32 commands.

The statistics showed that the service recorded the highest revenue of N123.6 billion in the month of July followed by N118.6 billion realised in May.

The data also revealed that the lowest revenue was recorded in the month of February with N86.3 billion.

The low February’s revenue might have been caused by 2019 general elections due to partial closure of borders within those periods of polls.
According to the data, Apapa area command has the highest revenue of N313.5 billion within the period under review.

The statistics also indicated that immediately after the partial closure of borders, the service recorded N115.6 billion in September, with about N6.1 billion more than what was realised in August before borders were closed.

The revenue was generated from import duty, levy, excise duty and other fees.
There is every possibility, with this statistics, by the end of 2019, NCS revenue will surpass the earning of 2018, which stood at N1.2 trillion.
NAN reports that 2018 revenue by customs was N164.8 billion more than the 2017 collection, which was N1.037 trillion. (NAN)

Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), Bolaji Owasanoye, says the executive arm of government in Nigeria is more corrupt than the judicial and legislative arm. According to Rasheedat Okoduwa, ICPC spokesperson, Owasanoye made the comment while delivering a lecture at the induction for new legislators in Abuja titled “The legislature and fight against graft and corruption”. Owasanoye described corruption as the enemy of development and good governance. He stated that Nigeria has the highest paid legislators representing the poorest people in the world, he said the national assembly budget had increased, over the years, for the same number of legislators without defensible legal or moral justification. He added that the public perception of legislators as being corrupt will be sustained unless the assembly makes its yearly budget public. “Corruption in the executive is far more than the legislature and judiciary combined.

Kperogi as a pathological liar – Fatuhu's aide

R e: 4 Blood Relatives of Buhari’s Who Officially Work in Aso Rock "Professor" Farooq Kperogi, as fondly call by his Slaphappy fandom, has lied to the public that Honorable Fatuhu Muhammad wasn't the one that won the 2019 general election due to the fact that Honorable Fatuhu is a Buhari's nephew. In his opprobrious statement, the pathological liar, in his moronic view, said: "The House of Representatives member representing the Daura/Sandamu/MaiAdua Federal constituency by the name of Fatihu Muhammad is the son of Buhari’s older brother by the name of Muhammadu "Mamman" Danbafale. Fatihu became the APC candidate without “proper primary,” as a source told me." However,  Kperogue should note that he is not the only one that can juggle with words to mislead the gullible among us. All the same, I advise Kperogue to surcease himself from posting lies on his pageantry because of likes and comments. Everyone, including vagabonds can do what Kper
