CUSTOM BOSS CHALLENGES FIGURES OF DAILY CONSUMPTION OF PETROL.

The Comptroller General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali, has questioned the figures for the daily consumption of Premium Motor Spirit PMS, popularly known as petrol.

Ali Who made an appearance before the House Committee on Finance for the hearing on the Medium Term Expenditure Framework 2023 – 2025 said if the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation puts daily consumption of PMS at 60 million liters, why does it allow 98 million liters to be lifted daily from the depots?

The Customs boss also dismissed claims that smuggling of PMS contributes to the huge amounts being paid for subsidy.
