The Senate has passed a resolution directing the Nigerian Customs Service to halt its plan to penalize Nigerians who do not pay duties on their vehicles within one month.
According to reports, the resolution followed a motion by the Deputy Leader, Bala Na’Allah, who said the new Customs policy was “a serious matter”.
In his contribution, Kogi State Senator, Dino Melaye, said it was not possible to import vehicle without clearance or “collaboration” of the Customs.
The Senate resolved that Customs halt actions until the agency appears before its Committee on Customs.
Senate President Bukola Saraki said it was the responsibility of the senate to ensure the welfare of Nigerians.
RizeFm recalls that the Nigerian Customs had threatened to impound vehicles without duty papers, and to prosecute their owners.
