The Kaduna Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has set a new revenue record, generating ₦5.16 billion in October 2025 — the highest monthly collection in the command’s history.
According to a statement from the command, the figure represents a 96% increase above its monthly target and a 196% performance rate, underscoring a significant boost in revenue generation.
Between January and October 2025, the command collected a total of ₦39.79 billion, compared to ₦24.06 billion during the same period in 2024 — marking a substantial year-on-year growth.
The Area Controller, Saad Hassan, attributed the record-breaking performance to the dedication and professionalism of officers and stakeholders, aligned with the modernisation agenda of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi.
Hassan highlighted improved stakeholder engagement, digitalisation of excise operations, and enhanced officer motivation as key drivers of the command’s success.
“The command’s performance demonstrates the effectiveness of our current operational strategies and our unwavering commitment to national economic stability,” Hassan stated.
He assured that the command will continue to sustain the momentum by facilitating legitimate trade, enhancing revenue collection, and strengthening compliance mechanisms.
The command also reaffirmed its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and integrity, in line with the service’s broader mission to facilitate trade and promote Nigeria’s economic growth.
