The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has disclosed that it recorded a total revenue of N3,682,496,530,576.48 between January 1 June 30, 2025.

This figure surpassed the projected revenue for the period by N390,197,847,119.32, equivalent of 11.85%, reflecting the Service’s strengthened capacity in revenue mobilisation

According to a statement by the National Public Relations Officer of the Service, Assistant Comptrollerr of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada, this figure represents a remarkable performance above expectations.

In practical terms, this signifies that within six months, the NCS has already achieved 55.93% of its annual revenue target.

The Customs Board noted that this impressive outcome underscores the effectiveness of ongoing reforms, improved compliance by stakeholders, and enhanced deployment of technology in Customs operations.

This revenue success was attributed to twider deployment of the Unified Customs Management System (UCMS) codenamed  B’Odogwu, arrival of six scanners including an FS6000 model to boost non-intrusive inspection, procurement of Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS) equipment, setup of the Centralised Image Analysis System (CIAS) at Customs Headquarters, reinforcement of cybersecurity architecture, operationalisation of a multi-channel helpdesk, onboarding of additional stakeholders, and delivery of targeted capacity-building programmes.

The Board acknowledged that these developments further align Nigeria’s clearance processes with international best practices.
