The Apapa Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has achieved a major milestone, recording a historic monthly revenue collection of ₦304 billion in October 2025. This figure not only marks the highest revenue ever collected by any single Customs Command in the history of the NCS but also pushes the Command’s total collection for the first ten months of the year past its entire 2024 total.
Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba, the Customs Area Controller, hailed the achievement, noting that the spectacular performance is proof of the Command’s readiness to handle a higher volume of trade efficiently, ultimately generating greater revenue for the government.
The October collection of ₦304 billion is a sharp increase from the ₦264 billion recorded in the corresponding month of October 2024. This latest feat brings the Command’s cumulative revenue for the ten months ending October 2025 to over ₦2.4 trillion, positioning the flagship Command to easily surpass its annual target.
The Customs Area Controller affirmed the commitment to sustained performance, stating that the Command is dedicated to implementing the Nigeria Customs Service’s mandate of both maximizing revenue generation and facilitating legitimate trade.
