A House of Representatives panel has summoned the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele, and the Comptroller
General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Hameed Ali, over alleged
abuse of waivers and bonds on import duties.
Also
invited are the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, bank
executives, importers, inspection agents and other critical
stakeholders. All the invitees are to be quizzed on their various roles
on the matter from 2010 to date.
A copy of a
letter written to the affected agencies and corporate bodies showed that
stakeholders such as SGS, Cotecna, Global Scan and Web Fountain Nig
Limited would also be quizzed.
The House
Committee on Customs, chaired by Rep Abiodun James Faleke (APC, Lagos),
said all those invited must appear next Wednesday to provide detailed
explanation on the matter.
