Customs Officer Explains Imported Vehicles Chargies.

Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi, has explained what gave rise to the ban on importation of vehicles to Nigeria.

Mr Adeniyi who was a guest on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Dialy, said the revenue from vehicles have accounted for 20% of the yearly revenue from the past 5 years, making it one of the top 3 performers.

According to him, this dwindled in the last 3 years, from about 144 billion in 2014 to about 86 billion Naira in 2016, which greatly affected the revenue base of the Nigerian Customs Service.

“The Federal Government looked into the matter and came up with steps to tackle it.

“Due to the diversions at the border, the Nigerian government got into an agreement with the Beninois government on international transit protocols”.

He then explained that this agreement was later breached by the Beninois government as Custom revenue was not remitted.

Hence, in order to protect national interest, the Government took the decision that Nigerian cargo should come to Nigerian ports.

He explained that as opposed to the believe that cars have been banned, “people don’t want to go with structure as regards paying the correct tariffs and therefore abandon the seaports for the borders”.

In January, seven Niger soldiers were killed and 17 wounded in an attack in Toummour, which is located in the east of Diffa close to the Lake Chad basin, a st...

Best Laptops for proggramming 2020

Image
  Programming can be done on many different types of machines but many programmers want something more than just a basic laptop. Screen size is really important when selecting a laptop for programming. You'll get more on a 14-inch screen and higher than a smaller one (it's easier to read through code and make GUI adjustments. Of course, with a bigger display you sacrifice portability).   The best laptops for programming are much more than devices that can run code editors. While you don't necessarily need a powerful machine for programming on, spending a little more on a device with plenty of RAM and a modern multi-core processor can really pay off, as they are able to compile code much more quickly. And, the less time you have to spend waiting for your laptop to complete complex tasks, the more time you have to do other things – such as take on more projects.
