The House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise has recommended the suspension Ecobank from further collection of customs’ duties, over infraction in the collection of the duties.

House-of-Reps parliament

Rep Leke Abejide, said this at the resumed investigative hearing of the committee on some banks’ refusal to remit customs duties to the Federal Government’s coffers.

He said that the bank would be suspended until it was able to pay the outstanding of N4.3 billion customs’ duties the bank refused to pay to the Federal Government.

Abejide said that the committee had been on the assignment for over a year, stressing that any banks that failed to show the amount collected for customs duties would also be suspended.

He noted that banks like Diamond, Access, Intercontinental, GTB, City Bank and WEMA Bank had submitted full data for their forensic review, while data from First Bank, Union Bank, Stanbic IBTC, were still undergoing reviews.

Reacting to the development, Mr Oche Adejoh, the Regional Compliant Manager, Ecobank, said that as at today, the bank had completed all its remittances.

He said that Ecobank currently had no remittances to make, adding that this was why the bank employed an independent entity, KPMG, to do the relevant investigation.
