Apapa customs sets new record with N304bn revenue in October

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Apapa Area Command, has set a new record by generating N304 billion in October 2025, the highest monthly revenue ever recorded by any customs command in Nigeria.

According to the command’s spokesperson, Tunde Ayagbalo, the figure surpasses the N264 billion collected in October 2024, bringing Apapa’s total revenue for the first ten months of 2025 to N2.4 trillion — exceeding its entire 2024 total.

Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba, attributed the feat to improved efficiency, stricter compliance, and technology-driven reforms.

He said the command is introducing a “drive-through scanning system” that will process up to 150 containers per hour, cutting clearance time and decongesting the port.

Oshoba commended his officers and stakeholders for their cooperation, vowing to sustain the momentum through automation and stronger anti-smuggling measures.

“This N304bn record is proof that Customs can be a model of efficiency and accountability,” he said.
