NEWS.........CUSTOM BOSS, Dikko, GIVES RESIGNATION NOTICE TO PRESIDENT BUHARI.
The Comptroller General of the
Nigerian Customs, Abdullahi
Dikko Inde, has turned in his resignation letter to President
Muhammad Buhari indicating
he wishes to leave the job on
August 18, according to
sources in the presidency.
Mr. Dikko has two years to the expiration of his tenure,
and it is unclear why he has
decided to go in one week's
time.
Our sources however
note that several Customs
leaders are currently being investigated for corruption
and some may be fired or
arrested.
President Buhari is reportedly
looking to fill Dikko's position with a Customs officer from the South-South.
It is understood that President
Buhari had earlier turned
down the resignation letter,
asking Mr. Dikko to give him
time to study the Customs and its operations, but that he
has now accepted the
resignation.
Sahara Reporters learnt that the President, whose tenure
has seen officials of several
government agencies turning
in similar resignation letters,
has resisted such attempts.
Our sources say Buhari prefers to watch and then fire them
the way he did with former
NSA Sambo Dasuki and
military Service chiefs
recently.
It would be recalled that in 2009, one Olajide
Oyewole accused Alhaji Inde
Dikko of having forged his
academic credentials with his
help.
In a video testimony obtained by Sahara Reporters , Oyewole said the Customs
boss illegally obtained
Certificates No 10912 and
10993) belonging to the
Nigerian Institute of
Management, and also forged the West African
Examinations Council
Certificate No. NGSG 37836,
documents that enabled him
to eventually become
Comptroller-Gen eral of Customs.
