This revenue marked a significant increase of 111% compared to the same period in 2023, according to Compt. Mohammed Yusuf, the Customs Area Controller. He highlighted that the command’s revenue collection surged from N21.36 billion in 2023 to N45.23 billion in the first quarter of 2024, representing a substantial difference of N23.86 billion.
