 Nigeria’s Comptroller-General of Customs, Dikko Abdullahi Inde, who will be going on voluntary retirement as the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS today, has said he is not afraid of probe.

Inde stated this on Monday while talking to the State House correspondents when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa.

According to him, despite barrage of petitions against his tenure, he is ready to defend every action that he took as CGC in the past six years, if the ongoing probe of revenue-earning agencies being conducted by the Federal Government is extended to cover his tenure.

 “Revenue appreciated by 20 per cent from when I took over and the officers that did the work are still around and I think that the NCS, I stand to be corrected, is the only service that is fully automated in the system of operation.

 “We have no fear. The time I’m leaving is the time I feel those young ones that have developed the software can manage it.

“I am leaving the Customs when the ovation is loudest so as to give chance to others”, he said.
