The Apapa Area Command of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) declared a revenue sum of 86.02 billion for the month of October 2021.
The Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Malanta Yusuf, said the revenue figure was recorded despite initial glitches that slowed down its operations.
He claimed the figure was possible because of sustained revenue collection through the volume of trade, strategies raising stakeholders’ compliance level, and inter-agency collaboration between the Command and other government agencies.
