Customs boss orders officers to declare assets in 14 days....lol

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs
Service, Hammed Ali, has directed all officers and
men of the Nigeria Customs Service to declare
their assets within 14 days. The order was stated
in a circular signed by the comptroller-general
and sent out to all deputy comptrollers-general,
zonal coordinators and customs area controllers.
Hameed in the circular said the directive which
must be complied with, is a way of ensuring
transparency and compliance with the rule of law
within the parastatal. The circular stated that the
directive was in compliance with “the Bank
Employees Declaration of Assets Act Cap B1
Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004”.
Although the act is meant for bank employees,
Hameed in the circular, stated that the president
is also empowered to extend its application to
other workforce.
“Specifically, Section 12 (1) states that “The
provision of this act shall apply to the
comptroller-general, deputy comptroller-general,
assistant comptroller-general, chief collector,
principal collector and other officer, staff or
employee of the Nigeria Customs Service as it
applies to a chief executive or an employee of a
bank,” said the circular.
