The Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, generated more than N285 million through its ongoing 20th e-auction.
The NCS Public Relations Officer, Joseph Attah, who revealed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, said 706 winners had emerged from the e-auction.
Attah said out of the 5,454 persons that registered for the exercise, more than 4,865 placed bids with 706 winners emerging.
“So far, 706 vehicles have been won with N285.253 million generated as revenue for the Federal Government,’’ Attah said.
He said the Comptroller-General of NCS, retired Col. Hameed Ali, launched the e-auction platform (https: app1.trade.gov.ng/eauction) on July, 3, 2017, to ensure transparency and integrity.
“The NCS will continue to be careful in handling goods at its warehouses so as not to be dragged into unnecessary litigations by claimants as a result of illegal disposal,” said Attah. (NAN)
