Apapa Customs record N323bn July revenue collection

The Nigeria Customs Service's Apapa Area Command has reported a staggering revenue collection of N323 billion in July 2026, marking the highest monthly figure ever recorded by the command. Public Relations Officer Sulaiman Isah disclosed this information during a recent monthly meeting with Deputy Comptrollers of Terminals and Unit Heads.

This remarkable achievement builds upon the command's previous record haul of N304 billion in October 2025, which was guided by the current command's leader, Emmanuel Oshoba. Oshoba credited the revenue surge to a combination of policy support, operational reforms, and enhanced compliance across the command. He specifically praised the efforts of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, and the service management team for their commitment to the service's modernization.

Oshoba highlighted improvements in the B'Odogwu system, the implementation of the One-Stop Shop initiative, and the Authorized Economic Operator framework, all of which have contributed to the impressive revenue numbers. Additionally, intelligence-driven enforcement operations have strengthened compliance and detected false declarations, further bolstering the command's revenue profile.

The Area Controller emphasized the importance of a conducive business environment, stable foreign exchange markets, and effective stakeholder relations in achieving these results. He urged officers to maintain their momentum, focus on productivity, and continue to uphold transparency and discipline in their work.
