The Tin-Can Island Command of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) yesterday said it had not slashed tariffs on fairly-used imported vehicles.
The Command's Public Relations Officer, Mr Chris Osunkwo, said in a statement in Lagos that there had not been any change in the tariffs prescribed by the management of the service for used imported vehicles.
According to him, “it is also important to emphasise that it is the prerogative of the Customs High Command to produce the valuation data base for used vehicles. “The Customs Area Command has no authority to tinker with it,’’ he said.
Osunkwo advised the public to discountenance any report that Customs had slashed the tariffs.
He described such reports as speculative and which could mislead the public.
The spokesman said that the deployment of the former Customs Area Controller of the PTML Command, Mr Zakari Jubril, to Tin Can Island Command was a routine administrative change.
He said that the command recorded tremendous increase in revenue in May.
According to him, the increase in revenue was due to the administrative acumen of the new controller and the dedication of officers of the command.
