[00:12:01] sources is highlighted at the benway MDA's revenue

[00:13:08] transparent and collective platform will be achieved.
[00:13:11] mandatory data sharing to expand the tax net and levy will also be
[00:13:15] achieved. we also eliminate cash collections and third party

[00:14:25] revenues that are coming in because the lower

[00:16:56] Musa Aliu has submitted his interim report to the
[00:17:00] president regarding the establishment the presidential foreign
[00:17:04] intervention promotion council, PfiPC. This
[00:17:07] comes about 30 days after President Bolatinu ordered the
[00:17:11] commission to carry out what he described as a thorough
[00:17:14] investigation into the fictitious presidential foreign intervention
[00:17:18] promotion council. According to him, the appointment letter and other documents
[00:17:22] including the setid gazette set to establish the
[00:17:25] agency are forged and the interim report found that there are
[00:17:29] weaknesses in verification, interagency oversight
[00:17:33] and government processes. The ICPC boss also
[00:17:36] discovered that those weaknesses were exploited by Mr.
[00:17:40] Adini with some level of negligence and no federal government funds
[00:17:44] were approved or disbur to the fake
[00:17:46] Pfipc.

[00:17:59] 7.3 trillion iRA in 2025 so passing
[00:18:02] its target by 10.24%.
[00:18:06] Speaking at retreat with the senate committee on customs,
[00:18:09] the boss customs boss explains that the
[00:18:13] reforms under the Nigeria Customs Act 2023 and the
[00:18:16] deployment the bodogu platform are driving
[00:18:20] transparency and efficiency, he asked lawers to focus
[00:18:24] oversight on system design, protect the risk engine from
[00:18:27] interference and review trade
[00:18:29] exemptions.
[00:18:33] permit me to place this conversation in its proper setting,
[00:18:38] Last year, the service collected
[00:18:41] 7.27 trillion
[00:18:43] nara, exceeding our targets
[00:18:47] by 10.24%, and between
[00:18:51] January and May of this year, we've collected 3.35
[00:18:54] trillion. These are not the figures of an
[00:18:58] administration that could be said to be in difficult,
[00:19:01] difficulty, but I want to be careful about
[00:19:05] what those numbers prove. revenue growth
[00:19:09] a period of currency adjustments can flatter an
[00:19:13] administration that has done very
[00:19:15] little. what matters is whether the whether the growth
[00:19:19] rests on better systems or on
[00:19:23] favorable arithmetic. i want to
[00:19:27] let you know that
[00:19:29] - story our
[00:19:32] situation rests on system
[00:19:36] and the prom. of this restrict is to let you
[00:19:40] examine that claim rather than just accepting it from
[00:19:44] me.
[00:19:48] meanwile, the chairman the senate committee on customs, senator
[00:19:52] Jibrin Isa gave his words of support to legislation
[00:19:56] that will sustain the modernization policy the Nigerian customs
[00:20:00] service.
[00:20:04] going forward in 2026, we believe that you
[00:20:08] can do lot better, what you need to
[00:20:12] do is to identify your
[00:20:14] challenges, try to address them as much as
[00:20:17] possible so that you can have much more robust
[00:20:20] performance in 2026 and
[00:20:23] beyond, where you
[00:20:27] require legislative backings, please do not
