The Senate Public Accounts Committee (SPAC) on Tuesday cleared the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) of any wrongdoing in relation to an alleged N62.2 billion under-remittance contained in the 2019 Audit Report of the Auditor-General for the Federation.

The Senate Panel submitted that the funds in question were levies collected on behalf of other government agencies and were therefore not meant for remittance into the Federation Account.
