CUSTOMS GENERATES N4.3TN IN SIX MONTHS

The Nigeria Customs Service has said it generated N4.30 trillion in revenue between January and June 2026, representing 36.4 per cent of its N11.074 trillion annual target.

This was at the Nigeria Customs Service Board’s 65th Regular Meeting, chaired by the Minister of Finance, Professor Taiwo Oyedele.

The Board says improved revenue collection is supported by the B’Odogwu digital system, expanded audits, geospatial technology, joint border patrols and engagement with the trading community.

The Board therefore approved the upgrade of the Customs Medical Corps to a sub-department and the De-Minimis Regulation 2025, while reviewing the ongoing recruitment exercise.

The Service says the measures are aimed at strengthening efficiency, accountability and revenue mobilisation.
