… Wants government to revisit auto policy, age limit for imported vehicles, others

… Calls for reorganization of NCS Management

As Muslims gear up to celebrate the 2022 Eid-el-Kabir celebration, the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents, ANLCA has called on the freight forwarders and indeed, all Nigerians to be security conscious during and after the Sallah celebrations.

The Acting National President of ANLCA, Dr. Kayode Farinto who made the call in his Sallah message to Nigerian Muslims observed that this year’s celebration, even though solemn, attest to the fact that Nigeria was going through lots of security challenges as a result of intelligence and security collapse.

“Hence we advice our members to be security conscious during and after the Sallah celebration”, he said.

Farinto, while congratulating the Muslim faithful on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration, added that as trade facilitators, customs agents would continue to do their best to ensure that more revenue was generated into the federation account as part of nation building.

He, however, appealed to the federal government to revisit many issues that could touch the lives of many Nigerians especially those at the grassroots even as he called on the federal government to review the age limit for imported tokunbo vehicles from 12 years to at least 15 years.

Describing the entire auto policy as a scam that had continued to enrich few individual Nigerians at the detriment of the economy, the ANLCA Acting National President pointed out that with the introduction in the last 10 years or more, the country had been unable to produce ordinary radiator while few were smiling homes with the money under the guise of being local assemblers and manufacturers.

“It is high time we revised this policy”, he added.

He maintained that the federal government needed to have consistent policy in the maritime industry arguing that “this trial by error of the government must be stopped forthwith.”

“Just when we thought there is eureka in the Transportation Ministry, the government decide to change the Minister and brings a new person that will start learning and commence visitation in the next three months.We are stagnant and not really moving forward with this retrogressive steps every time and it is encouraging neo-colonialism.

“The federal government in line with international best practices needs to reorganize and reorientate the management of Nigeria Customs Service from the present moribund one. The present one has continually bring confusion to the trading community with her high handedness without control and checks to the extent that the Federal Ministry of Finance has lost her supervisory role hence the high level of non-professionalism to the nation.

Finally, we urge our members to increase our level of compliance to show our patriotism to the nation as professionals that we are known for.

“We charge the Council for the Regulation of Freight Forwarding in Nigeria, CRFFN to brace up to her responsibilities by giving qualitative leadership and increase capacity building for the freight forwarders. It is rather unfortunate that Anlca has been shouting for a very long time that foreigners are gradually taking over our profession but up till now, there seems to be no solution in sight to nip this in the bud.

“However, the government needs to do something urgently before the issue slips out of hands”, he submitted.
