The Nigerian Senate has blocked the Nigeria Customs Service from
going ahead with the proposed plan to collect duties on all vehicles in the country, including old ones.
The Senate resolved that the Customs should drop the move until its Comptroller-General Hameed Ali has appeared before the lawmakers to explain the idea behind the collection of the old duties.
The motion was moved by Deputy Senate majority leader, Bala Ibn Na’Allah, who was seconded by Kogi Senator Dino Melaye.
