Why Amaechi Is Angry With Hameed Ali

Rotimi Amaechi & Hameed AliThe Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi is not happy with Customs boss, Col. Hameed Ali (retd): “The Comptroller General of Customs has to agree for the Customs to be connected to the NSW to make our ports more effective. All we are doing now is manual; it will not last for long. Very soon, Nigerians will protest against the ports. People are already importing through the Benin Republic. Everyone has a single window. Niger that used to import things through Nigeria is doing so through another country. This is because we are charging both official and unofficial fees. Goods in Nigeria are too expensive.”
