NCS says it has generated N573 billion out of the N957 billion projected for the 2020 fiscal year.

on Thursday said it had generated N573 billion between January and May from total targetted revenue of N957 billion for the 2020 fiscal year.

Mr Hameed, represented by Deputy Comptroller-General , Human Resources, Sanusi Umar, said NCS was able to realise more than half of the targetted revenue for the year due to blockage of identified leakages. Mr Ali was, however, taken up by the committee members on non-remittance of surpluses made every year, particularly in 2018 and 2019.

Another member of the Committee, Sulaiman Kwari , challenged officials of Customs to explain what they do with such surpluses. Members of the Committee led by Francis Alimikhena , however, disagreed on whether to revert the targetted revenue for Customs in 2020 to N1.6 trillion as earlier passed in December or retain it at N957 billion proposed in the revised budget.Also, while Gyang Istifanus Dung , called for upward review of the targetted revenue, Adamu Aliero , disagreed.
