Speaking on the N288.3 billion import revenue collected, the Customs boss said, the command broke the monthly revenue record in the month of October 2024 with a collection of N44.02 billion.

Comptroller Daniyan, while describing the October 2024 monthly collection as the highest in the history of the command, expressed confidence in the ability of his officers and men to surpass the record.

The Customs Area Controller attributed the command’s achievements to a combination of hard work by officers, compliance by port users and cooperation of sister government agencies in the port.

Comptroller Daniyan said: “We must rededicate ourselves to serving our country diligently, firstly as patriotic citizens and as customs officers with mandates to work for the development of our national economy.

“The comptroller general of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, have a lot of confidence in our ability to deliver excellently as officers with capabilities to use modern trade facilitation tools and platforms like the recently launched B’Odogwu platform, which is being deployed first in our command as a pilot area.

“As we work into the yuletide period, seeing to the end of 2024,let us continue sustaining two hours cargo clearance for compliant RoRo consignments, collect maximum revenue without compromising on diligent examination to detect concealment, under valuation and false declaration.”
