After an hour meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the
State House, Abuja, the leadership of the Academic Staff Union of
University (ASUU) has kept mum on details.
The Union’s National President, Biodun Ogunyemi, led his
colleagues to the meeting which started at 3 pm and ended at a few
minutes after 4 pm.
Ogunyemi, accompanied by ASUU Vice President Victor Osodeke and
other members of the leadership of the Union, submitted a
presentation to President Buhari.
The meeting is believed to have focused on the Integrated
Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).
ASUU had kicked against its inclusion on IPPIS which is a
directive from President Buhari.
A faction of the union, Congress of University Academics
(CONUA), has, however, mandated its members to comply with the
Federal Government’s directive; and while some universities have
complied with the directive, others are yet to do so because of
ASUU’s stance.
President Buhari had directed that all ministries, departments,
agencies of government, including staff of the Police, the Armed
Forces and educational institutions be included in the IPPIS.
The Union had developed an alternative solution called
University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS), which
it claims is equivalent to the IPPIS.
Buhari had during the 2020 budget presentation at the National
Assembly on October 8, 2019, ordered all public sector workers to
register for the IPPIS to save cost and fight corruption.

Customs Boss Hameed Ali
NCS Generates N1.34tr Revenue in 2019
Nigeria Customs Service generated the sum of
N1,341,690,568,327.18 for the year 2019. Amount generated is over
the target of N937,286,121,586.00 set for the year 2019 and
N139,241,835,082.29 over the sum of N1,202,448,733,244.89 generated
in 2018.
Commenting on this feat, the Comptroller-General of Customs,
Col, Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd) described it as a result of resolute
pursuitof what is right rather than being populist by compromising
national interest on the altar of individual or group
interests.
The service revenue generation profile has continued to be on
the rise annually as the ongoing reforms in the Service insists
on:
Strategic deployment of officers strictly using the standard
operating procedure.
Strick enforcement of extant guidelines by the tariff and trade
department.
Automation of the Customs process thereby eliminating vices
associated with the manual process.
Robust stakeholder sensitization resulting in more
informed/voluntary compliance.
Increased disposition of officers and men to put national
interest above selves.
The partial border closure which has forced cargoes that could
have been smuggled through the porous borders to come through the
sea and airports raised revenue collection from ports.
Before the commencement of the border drill on 20th August 2019,
revenue generation was between N4 billion to N5 billion but now NCS
generate between N5 billion to N7 billion daily.
The partial border closure is a decisive action against the
challenging issue of trans-border crime and criminalities, fueled
by the noncompliance to ECOWAS Protocol on transit of goods by
neigbhouring Countries.NCS hopes that the ongoing discussions with
our neighbours will yield permanent solution to the challenges of
border security.
The Service wishes to express its readiness to strictly
implement the outcome of the ongoing diplomatic engagements.
In the same vein the Service efforts to prevent the entry of
items that could compromise the Security of our citizens, National
Economy and the well being of our people resulted in the seizures
of 30,906 assorted items with a duty paid value of
N62,134,426,199.00.
These seizures include arms, ammunitions, illicit drugs, used
clothings, vegetable oil, frozen poultry and foreign rice among
others that have grave consequences on economy security and well
being of Nigerians.
While we give our assurances of total commitment to the course
of nation building, we call on Nigerians, especially the business
community to support the NCS on the ongoing drive to robustly
contribute to National Security and create enabling environment for
businesses to thrive in the country.
