NCSCN Commends FG, Customs Over Cancellation Of 25% Penalty On Imported Vehicles

The National Civil Society Council of Nigeria (NCSCN) has commended the Federal Government and the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on the initiation of a 90-day window for the regularisation of import duties on specific categories of vehicles.

The commendation was made on behalf of the Civil Society Council by its Executive Director, Blessing Akinlosotu.

“This is another highly commendable gesture by the Government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, through the Federal Ministry of Finance, and the Nigeria Customs Service to cushion the hardship on Nigerians as a result of the global economic down-turn.

The Nigeria Customs Service under the new Comptroller General, Mr. Bashir Adewale Adeniyi has given unprecedented human face to the Service, of which the Civil Society Council deeply appreciates as the conscience of the citizenry and voice of the masses,” Akinlosotu said in a statement.

He continued: “This waiver and removal of penalty charges will go a very long way in boosting individual and organisational business economies, while having a positive ripple out effect on families. With more of such strategic interventions coming from the Minister of Finance and the NCS, our Council believes the present nationwide hardship would be remarkably ameliorated in no distant time.

“The Civil Society Council hereby specially thank President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, appreciate the Honourable Minister of Finance, Wale Edun and commend the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi for this development, while we call on the citizenry to exercise more patience, being rest assured that the current economic hardship shall drastically reduce, considering the numerous interventions being roled out by the Federal Government, especially by the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Nigeria Custom Service.”
