Dikko, to appear before it to answer multi-million naira queries raised
against the Customs by the Office of Auditor-General of the Federation
from 2007 to 2010.The committee, led by Honourable Solomon Adeola, took turn in lambasting the customs boss for his refusal to appear before the committee to defend the service over allegation of financial mismanagement, as reported by the office of the Auditor-General of the Federation.
Chairman of the committee, however, ruled that the Customs boss must appear before it on April 10 to defend the various allegation against the service.
A member of the committee, Honourable Osita Honourable, said “we are not happy, the customs boss cannot be above board. The fact that the CG of Customs is controlling revenue and in charge of too much money does not make him above board.”
