By

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Mr Bashir Adeniyi, has announced that the agency will now use the official Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) exchange rate for computing import and export duties.

Speaking during an interview on Arise TV, Mr Adeniyi said the NCS does not have autonomy in determining the exchange rate for customs purposes. “We follow what is prescribed for us by the regulatory authority for monetary affairs, which is the CBN,” he stated.

The pronouncement comes on the heels of recent increments in the exchange rate used by the NCS for assessing import duties, which saw the rate inch close to that of the unofficial market rate. In November and December 2022, the customs exchange rate was raised from N757/$ to N951/$, representing a cumulative increase of over 20%.

Mr Adeniyi noted that as a government agency, the NCS will comply with official fiscal and monetary policies. He cited examples such as the removal of VAT on LPG imports and electric vehicle imports.

On revenue generation, the Customs boss revealed that collections have increased 37% under his watch. The agency is targeting revenue of N5.1 trillion in 2024. He added that trade facilitation is also a major priority for customs, especially with the implementation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement.

The new policy is expected to reduce arbitrariness in the exchange rate applied by customs commands across the country. Importers hope it will lead to stability and predictability of duty rates on imports.

FG approves major NYSC reform, civilian to lead agency

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a comprehensive reform of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), marking the first major overhaul of the scheme since its establishment 53 years ago.   According to Channels Television, the reforms aim to transform the NYSC into a skill-oriented, productivity-driven institution that empowers young Nigerians and supports the Federal Government’s goal of building a $1 trillion economy. As part of the approved changes, the Federal Executive Council directed the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Ministry of Youth to amend the NYSC Act and its regulations to reflect the new framework, allowing for its immediate implementation. A key aspect of the reform is that the NYSC will now be headed by a civilian in its operational leadership. The military will, however, continue to provide security for corps members across the country. The government said the leadership change is intended to reposition the scheme beyond its traditional structure and strengthen its focus on skills development, productivity, and youth empowerment. The NYSC was established by Decree No. 24 of May 22, 1973, following the Nigerian Civil War. It was created to promote national unity, reconciliation, and stronger ties among Nigerian youths through a mandatory one-year national service programme. The scheme is currently headed by Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu. The latest reforms represent the first holistic review of the NYSC since its inception in 1973.
