Minister of finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Minister of agriculture, Dr Akinwumi Adesina and others have been summoned by the House of Representatives over alleged N21billion rice importation tax evasion scam.

According to Vanguard, the ministers and 25 rice importers are expected to explain to the lawmakers how over N21bn tax was evaded despite the provision of subsidy by the Federal Government to the importers.

It was also reported the whole rice importation exercise was grossly abused by the importers and laced with fraud. Source:www.vanguardngr.com

Much more goes on within the Nigerian Custom that we are in cognizant of.

Buhari should probe this institution

That woman should make 1-5 on buhari's probe list. She caused much suffering for Nigerians and also ruined Gej s presidency. I hope she will be dealt with accordingly

Okonjo Iweala still remains the best


How can the overpaid senators and reps question the agricultural minister who is one of the best minister since independence



Abeg make dem go sit down

Ngozi OK na

Another investigation that won't yield any results

Fowl, breeze.nyashh.yeye smell.

Even if Adeshina is acclaimed to have done well,does it mean we shouldn't look into d books when questionable deals happened under his nose, with or without his connivance?
Fact: Very few government officials would escape jail terms or some form of conviction if American or trully European standards of public office are applied here.

I'm watchin all d film trickz on a 3d

all their dirty dealing will be exposed one by one

If everybody reason like you this country wiĺl not move forward

Not again!!!!!!

Can't wait for GEJ's government to end.

I am tired of all these scandals jare.

The only candle and blinking light in Jonah's govt is even being indicted in this. Says it all about GEJ.

Anyone that GEJ is his hero, should be checked into a psychiatric hospital.

Not much information provided to dissect the article.

Why invite the Ministers instead of calling EFCC to investigate if the importers evaded tax. However, if the said tax is a waiver based on the policy of the Federal Government notwithstanding whatever said subsidy provided in the budget (which may or may not have been paid to the importers) then the HOR is over-stepping its boundaries.

The Executive makes the policy to drive its economic agenda.

I see so many people being convicted after May 29.

We never had a president in this country, just a figure head in Aso Rock. Nigeria was on auto-pilot while the people who were meant to steer her affairs engaged in a looting frenzy, each one of them trying to outdo the other.

What a shame.

Adesina ko

I'm not a pessimist, neither am I an unreasonable optimist; I'm simply a realist with some character of an idealist.

This people want to stain this Adeshina record by force......biko na

Now, the only sector (Agriculture) that seemed to be working in this administration is now tainted with a N21B fraud. Will be waiting to hear their response. I'm hoping that it's not true, as GMB is campaigning for that guy to become the president of African development Bank.

Simple as ABC

I like that "unreasonable optimist"! But hey, There gotta be something worth your positive applause about this government. There gotta be... It's not all Negative now is it?

Madam come & explain

21bn tax evasion by importers? I am sure it was not free. No free lunch in Somalia...

To think that some people still wanted Jonathan to continue makes me want to throw up Microvilli.
