The Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs
Service, retired Colonel Hameed Ali, can wear jeans and T-shirt to office if he
ends smuggling, Senate President Bukola Saraki has said.
Saraki said
this while declaring open a public hearing on ‘Smuggling - A threat to
Nigeria’s quest to self sufficiency in rice production’ yesterday.
Saraki, in
the presence of Ali, said: “Once you end smuggling, even if you want to wear
jeans and T-shirt, I will personally move the motion to support you”.
Ali has been
having issues with the Senate over his failure to wear Customs uniform.
Saraki described smuggling as the singular greatest threat to
the delivery of the campaign promise of President Muhammadu Buhari to diversify
the economy.
