29 More Senior Officers Retire From Nigeria Customs

Barely 24 hours after five Deputy Comptrollers General of Customs (DCGs) voluntarily retired from the Service, another 29 senior officers have toed the same line, bringing the total to 34.

The Nigeria Customs Service has described the retirements as part of its current reorganization process but LEADERSHIP reports an inside source as attributing it to irreconcilable differences between the senior officers and
the new Comptroller-General, Col. Hameed Ali (Rtd).

The five DCGs who kick started the voluntary retirements include John Atte, in charge of Finance Administration and Technical Services , Adewumi Akinade, in charge of tariff and trade; Austin Nwosu, strategic research and policy; Musa Tahir, Enforcement , Investigation and Inspection and Ibrahim Mera,  Human Resources Development.

LEADERSHIP WEEKEND quotes the inside source as saying that Col Hameed Ali has not had a smooth relationship with the top cats at Nigeria Customs Service since his assumption of office as Controller General.

“Being that the new CG is not a career Customs officer, I believe his ideals about the workings of the agency, is at variance with that of the DCGs.

“I'm not surprised they took this step, they must have strongly disagreed with the CG regarding some issues and decided it was time to take a bow,” the unnamed source said.
