The Accountable Leadership for Better Nigeria Initiative, ALBNI, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse the approval for the e-customs concession project which was approved by the federal executive council.
In a statement by Remi Adebayo, Executive Director, ALBNI, said if President Buhari genuinely desires forgiveness, he should also take deliberate and immediate steps to make amends.
“Indeed, President Buhari has an opportunity for true repentance by rejecting the final ratification of memo EC (2023) 127 Ratification of the President’s Anticipatory Approval for the Implementation of the Nigeria Customs Modernisation Project. The memo was passed last Wednesday at the Federal Executive Council, FEC, meeting where Vice President Yemi Osinbajo presided.
“The government officials who presided over the drafting of the ‘offensive’ memo and rammed the same through FEC approval have done a great disservice to the legacy of President Buhari. History will bear witness, sooner than later.

“The Accountable Leadership for Better Nigeria Initiative calls on President Buhari and the Federal Government to immediately reverse the controversial re-approval of the concession agreement on Nigeria Customs Service Modernisation Project, also called the E-Customs Project. President Buhari must jettison the extracts of the odious memo to be presented on Wednesday, 26 April at the FEC meeting.” It said.
ALBNI further called on the Federal Government in the interest of justice and fairness, to reverse the approval and await the outcome of the pending case before the court.
