That's what you get when you appoint the wrong person.

Stu.pid man

You sound just like the last word you used on the mab but on your case use woman to end it.
What was he employed for?

What sort of silly people do we have in this country. Random simple men think they are bigger than the country. If you can't wear it leave. It symbolises your post.

If you are employed in a paramilitary unit and you have guts to say that you can't wear the uniform that comes with it, then something is very wrong with your head. So what message are you passing to other agencies whose oga's wear uniform? is he bigger than the NASS?

Keep quit jor, just wear uniform come be problem. if u are shy of wearing it then u resign. simple!

shea because baba don come bck u dn get mouth ba? No worry in some weeks time we go sabi.

Well said. Why have they not asked him for that for more than a year?

Col Ali is NOT a customs officer, so your example doesn't fly.

He is CG of what? NPC? or FIRS? He is the CG of customs and it means he is supposed to geberally wear a uniform. So please dont come here and tell me because he was a col, means he shouldnt and cannot wear a customs uniform.

The fact is that the Senate committee on customs and excise are out for Hameed Alli because he has refused to give the senators allocations of seized vehicles and containers like his predecessor Dikko Inde.
However Alli has played into their hands by refusing to wear the uniform of a Comptroller General,because you can't enjoy the benefits of the office without wearing the uniform and appropriate rank of a Comptroller General.

Alli enjoys the perks,advantages,allowances and salary of a Comptroller General. So he should be able to bury his pride and ego and wear the uniform of the service.
The error started when Mr Buhari appointed him Comptroller General of Customs. The Comptroller General MUST wear the uniform and designated rank.
Mr Buhari should have appointed Alli as a sole Administrator as General Abacha did when he appointed Brig General Samuel Ango sole adminstrator in the 90's
As sole adminstrator he would not be answerable to anyone,Legislators included.
Alli is stubborn and will not wear a uniform to the Senate.
Another crisis brewing in the polity.

Adebowale89:
the person that appointed this man and him are compound illiterate


you were employed as custom boss and you're not putting on your uniform which signify the nature of the organization you're representing


why is Nigeria moving backward, instead of forward

imagine the boldness of this man challenging the Parliaments. I don't blame him sha, na wetin the legislature reduce theirselves to

Nigeria is not moving backward, you and the ignorant Nigerian senate are the ones moving backward.

He is not a customs officer, he is an administrator and a political appointee.

The fact that we have ignorant and corrupt lawmakers doesn't mean such malady should drain down to the so called leaders of tomorrow who sadly are still void of basic civic education.

The ignorant and incompetent lawmakers are not in any position to dictate to any Nigeria what to where and when to wear anything, it's not part of their job or anywhere in the Nigeria constitution.

The man work at the pleasure of his boss aka the President and not the silly and ignorant lawmakers.

Okay naaa. Every other uniform person should drop their uniform and just work naaa! All these liabilities that Babu engaged ehhh! They mostly suffering from abject ignorance.

As a civilian is there a law that requires him to wear a uniform.

As a civilian does he have to right to wear what ever he likes as long as it conforms to the dress code.

What will the haters say if Buhari had chosen another individual promote him to IG and make him IG of the police or the Navy. That will be a weirder thing compared to civilian running a rotten agency

Eeeeeeya Senate have gone were they shouldn't have. This guy is the guy the senate shouldn't have messed with in Buhari's administration, This man does not fear anybody.

Many thought they would give him EFCC but because Customs is more critical to the country than EFCC because of the money generated Buhari trusted him with customs.

oladimejiX:
its about to go down
Senate vs Customs round 1 fight

Col Hameed Ali is not the type to be messed with the doesn't fear none oooo

What has uniform got to do with duty performance are they saying his face appearance may not be recognised as he appeared earlier on during his confirmation by the same senate as custom boss.

I also don't care about whether you wear uniform or not but just clean up our Custom and make the Service as efficient as obtainable elsewhere. Who uniform epp?

YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF THIS COUNTRY THAT MUST RESPECT THE CONSTITUTED AUTHORITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE ARM OF GOVERNMENT.
YOU BETTER WEAR THAT UNIFORM OF VAMOOZ. I WONDER IF YOUR SURBODINATES WHERE CARRYING OUT IN-SURBODINATIVE ACTS WHAT WOULD BE YOUR REACTION.

bizzibodi:

1.Quote relevant laws that said a political appointee must wear uniform.
2.Will is performance b dismal if he didnot wear a uniform?
3.He is heading d custom as an administrator not a custom officer?his job is purely adminstrative no one will address him with that rank,will he hav 2 rtd uniforms as rtd army & rtd custom an abberation.it will b conflicting if some1 address him as rtd CG of customs.
4.He is a rtd colonel,do rtd army wears uniform?
Buhari is d cic he doesnt wear uniform but when general see him d will stiffen & tremble knowing big masquered done land.

With no offence intended,it appears your moniker obscures comprehension of the subject matter.
The office of Comptroller General is not by political appointment. The norm,which is universal,had been by ascendancy and succession hitherto the aberration created by Buhari. So as enshrined in the Customs Service regulations,it is a law of the land.
The work of all past CG of customs had been administrative.Hameed Ali will not be addressed as retired CG because you retire after attaining the maximum age in a service. However,when the annals of the Nigerian Customs Service is read,Hameed Ali will appear as a former Comptroller-General.
Mr President does not wear a uniform because it is a democracy.

I think the National Assembly should amend the Custom' Act, so that its boss can be answerable to it, like it has been amending some Agency's Act recently.

A lot of our comments are centred on whether Ali should wear uniform, if he can disobey the Senate and so on. Some of us even have personal beef for him.

But I think the Big Issue is whether the Senate has right to summon heads of agency at will under the guise of oversight function or also giving them instructions to stop an action. Like telling JAMB to cancel UME.

I think the Senate is overreaching itself and if Ali does not appear in uniform or not appear at all, it seems to me that the best they can do is to issue summon to the IG, what if the President says the IG should not carry out the Summons?

Let us see how it would all play out.

In an apparent response to the Senate’s directive, the Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs, retired Col. Hameed Ali, has said that he was not employed to wear uniform.

He told TVC on Friday that rather, he was appointed to work effectively.

The Senate had ordered him to appear before it on March 15th in his official uniform as a customs officer.

He was summoned by the fuming senators over the new order by the Customs Service for all old vehicles to pay their customs duty.

Customs offered a 60 per cent rebate for vehicles from 2015 below.

“No! I was not appointed Comptroller General of Customs to wear uniform.

“Does Uniform work or the person behind the uniform?”

If we suspect that smuggled items are taken into your house, we have the right to cordone that house and go in to search.

“Am I doing my job or not? I think that should be what should worry the National Assembly” he said.

best performing controller general ever had in Nigeria. Our land borders can't be booming with inflow of under declared goods while our seaports is virtually empty. Thereby derailing the revenue of this nation. Ali continue with your good work. Any geniue importer shoul import through our seaports QED

is on this issue that I will know if our Senate has the power or Ali Hameed, or they only have power to continuity of budget defense, remember that this is march 2017 and that is 2017 budget

Hameed Ali like many hausa feudals have never believed in democracy, they don't see any reason why they should since they believe they own the country.
