The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Ogun II Area Command, has generated N4,627,054,451.69 revenue between September and October.
The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Olusola Alade, disclosed this at a press conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Alade said the revenue is 28.8 per cent higher than what the command generated in the corresponding period last year.
He explained that since his assumption of duty, about three months ago, the monitoring team of the command has been re-invigorated to brace up for an upliftment in their revenue drive.
Alade added that the monitoring team has succeeded in bringing more factories under excise control, which has boosted revenue generation.
He said, “The command generated a total revenue of N4,627,054,451.69 in September and October 2023, which is 24.8% higher than what the command generated in the corresponding period last year. The November revenue is just dropping into the Federation Account and it is now being collated.”
He added that the command’s activities in the free trade zones have improved and yielded greater success in the monthly revenue collections.
