Colonel Hameed Ali (Rtd), the Comptroller-General of Customs, was
spotted flying a private jet to Lagos state.
Ali
was seen as he started a 5-day familiarization visit to Customs formations and
stakeholders in Lagos.
Nigerians
on Facebook wondered why customs boss can’t use normal flights.
Adedara Emmanuel: “Customs boss using private jet
and you complain of NNPC?”
Baba Gana Dibal: “The jet is owned by the
Nigeria Customs Service and was bought under GEJ/Okonjo-Iweala/Dikko watch.
Many Nigerians cried foul at the N1.5 billion price but were ignored. Let’s
watch and see what the PMB administration will do with the excess government
jets in the coming months.”
Ofomola Paul: “Even customs boss can’t travel
via commercial flight?”
Taofeek Adeyinka: “Non uniform Comptroller of
Custom, acting in full capacity without confirmation from the senate. Impunity,
nepotism, and change.”
Tamonoene Israel: “He’s using private jet, we are
fighting corruption.”
Talent Sidi: “Don’t get me wrong, I totally
admire this man, but why waste tax payers money on private jets. Cost of
landing, parking, fueling for one day runs into hundreds of thousands. What’s
wrong with these people and private jets..?”
Charles Adolphus: “Customers service is still
corrupt and still houses thieves who charge excessively.”
Ali’s
appointment as the new customs boss by President Muhammadu Buhari was announced
on Thursday August 27.
Col
Ali reportedly served as Buhari’s chief of staff for nearly five years up till
the time he won the presidential election.
The
60-year-old Ali played very active role in the funding of Buhari’s campaign as
head of the Crowd Funding Project.
