Information reaching THE HERALD suggests Customs Officers are in a rush to avoid the wrath of Comptroller- General of the NCS, Retired Col. Hammed Alli who had ordered them to declare their assets.
The Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) , Mr. Wale Adeniyi confirmed that officers and men were already declaring their assets as directed by Alli last week.
He said the asset declaration forms are being deposited with the Code of Conduct Bureau ( CCB) for appropriate action.
“There are those who filled it earlier in the year; there are those who fill it regularly.”
“It is the Code of Conduct Bureau that can say the rate of compliance. The Code of Conduct Bureau office is all over the federation but the responsibility of filling the form rest with the officers. But left for me, I have collected the form, I have filled it and I have submitted. They (the officers) all have the obligation of and filling the forms,” Adeniyi.
The Comptroller- General of the NCS, Retired Col. Hammed Alli had last week directed the officers to declare their assets within two weeks.”
