In a statement issued by the Service National Public Relations Officer, Dr. Abdullahi Maiwada, after the Service Board’s 63rd regular meeting held on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and chaired by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, it disclosed that it collected a total revenue of N3.68 trillion between January and June 2025. This figure represents 55.93% of its annual revenue target.

According to the Customs spokesman, the figure generated in the first six months of the year surpassed the projected revenue for the period by N390,197,847,119.32, equivalent to 11.85%.

“The service announced the 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.

“Furthermore, the Board also undertook a comprehensive review of the Service’s revenue performance for the first half of the year. Between 1st January and 30th June 2025, the Service recorded a total revenue collection of N3,682,496,530,576.48, representing a remarkable performance above expectations.

“This figure surpassed the projected revenue for the period by N390,197,847,119.32, equivalent to 11.85%, reflecting the Service’s strengthened capacity in revenue mobilisation. In practical terms, this signifies that within six months, the NCS has already achieved 55.93% of its annual revenue target,” he stated.

The Customs national spokesman said the Customs Board approved the appointment of four Deputy Comptroller-Generals (DCGs) and 12 Assistant Comptroller-Generals (ACGs).

“The Board noted that with integration support from Trade Modernisation Project Limited, the NCS is supporting the initiative toward early completion, reaffirming its commitment to trade facilitation, efficiency, and global best practices.”
