**Reps Ask Hard Questions About Customs' N3.2trn Revenue, Seek Transparency** The House of Representatives has sent a strong signal to the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to provide answers on how they manage their revenue. The move is aimed at ensuring accountability and transparency in the handling of the service's massive revenue, which currently stands at a whopping N3.2 trillion. In a recent move, the lawmakers have requested detailed information on the customs' auction and export records. This is not the first time the legislature has taken a keen interest in the NCS's activities. In the past, the service has been accused of poor management of revenue, which has led to a significant decline in the country's revenue generation. One of the major concerns of the lawmakers is the need for the customs to decongest ports and improve cargo processing. In a bid to address this challenge, the NCS embarked on a major port decongestion exercise. The exercise, which involved clearing long-stay containers, has led to the creation of operational space for improved cargo processing. This initiative is expected to boost economic activities and reduce the time spent on clearing goods at the ports. However, the lawmakers are not satisfied with the customs' efforts to address the issue of port congestion. They have expressed concern that the exercise may not have been as effective as claimed, and that the customs may still be facing challenges in managing the flow of goods at the ports. The demand for detailed information on auction and export records is also aimed at addressing the issue of revenue leakage. The lawmakers are concerned that the customs may be losing revenue due to the failure to properly manage the auction process. As the lawmakers continue to press for transparency and accountability, the NCS must be prepared to provide answers on how they manage their revenue. The service must also be willing to work with the legislature to address the challenges facing the ports and improve revenue generation. The implications of the lawmakers' move are far-reaching. If the customs fail to provide the required information, it could lead to a loss of confidence in the service and undermine the country's revenue generation efforts. On the other hand, if the customs are able to provide the required information and address the challenges facing the ports, it could lead to improved revenue generation and economic growth. Ultimately, the success of this move depends on the willingness of the customs to be transparent and accountable. If they are able to provide the required information and work with the legislature to address the challenges facing
