The Civil Servants Urge Customs to Suspend Flawed e-Auction


The Abuja civil servant (FCT) on Wednesday approached the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) to suspend the ongoing e-auction facing challenges and inability to access the platform.



They said the suspension would empower the Federal Inland Revenue service (FIRS) to combine the Joint Tax Board (JTB) Tax Identification Number (TIN) in the platform.

Some of the workers told the media that the JTB TIN, which was generally utilized by civil servants, was not being acknowledged by the Customs e-auction platform.

As per them, this makes it stressful for JTB TIN users to partake in the excise. "So they should suspend the exercise to empower FIRS to coordinate JTB TIN into Customs e-auction platform to give all Nigerians equal rights," they said. 

One of the workers, Solomon Oluwaseun, tragically said even as a registered tax payer he was unable to participate in the excise.
