Apapa Customs Achieves N303 Billion Revenue in October

In October 2026, the Apapa customs command reported a revenue collection of N303 billion, an increase of N20.16 billion from September. This marks the second time since July that the command has surpassed the N300 billion threshold, following a record collection of over N323 billion.

The revenue performance coincided with Murtala Mu’azu's assumption of duty as Customs Area Controller on September 29, 2026. Mu’azu attributed the success to enhanced revenue generation efforts and the facilitation of legitimate trade.

He emphasized stakeholder engagement, operational efficiency, and improved service delivery in line with the policy of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adeniyi. A stakeholder engagement meeting was held on October 5, addressing operational challenges faced by port users, including delays in demand notices and cargo clearance.

Mu’azu also announced initiatives to streamline processing and reduce bureaucratic delays, directing officers to identify challenges and improve service delivery.
