Speaking at a press briefing, the outgoing Customs Area Controller (CAC), Suleiman Bomoi, disclosed that, the command also generated $249.4million from export of 178,572 Metric Tons of agricultural produce in the year under review.

The Comptroller, who was recently appointed acting assistant Comptroller General of Customs, however, rued absence of scanners at the PTML command, saying, it will reduce issue of 100 percent cargo examination at the command.

According to him, the N229.4billion collected in 2022 represented an increase of 2.2 per cent to 2021 despite the down time recorded from strike action by clearing agents over the introduction of Vehicles Identification Number(VIN).

“In the year 2022, the Command generated a total revenue of N229.4billion. This represents about 96 percent of the revenue target of N238.2billion set for 2021 and adopted by the Command in 2022. This shows an increase N5billion  over the revenue for the year 2021 which was N224.4billion.
