Apapa Customs record N323bn July revenue collection

The Nigeria Customs Service in Apapa Area Command announced a remarkable July 2026 revenue collection of N323 billion, marking the highest monthly figure ever recorded by the command. This milestone was disclosed by the Public Relations Officer, Sulaiman Isah, during a meeting with Deputy Comptrollers of Terminals and Unit Heads.

Isah praised Commandant Emmanuel Oshoba for leading the command to this record haul, which surpassed the previous record of N304 billion set in October 2025. Oshoba credited the achievement to policy support, operational reforms, and improved compliance. He highlighted the improvements in the B’Odogwu system, the One-Stop Shop initiative, and the Authorised Economic Operator framework, which have streamlined operations and created a more predictable business environment.

The service also emphasized the role of intelligence-driven enforcement operations in enhancing compliance. Area Controller Oshoba urged personnel to contribute beyond revenue generation and foster a collaborative, professional environment. The command's success is attributed to President Bola Tinubu's enabling business environment and a stable foreign exchange market, which has facilitated better planning and informed decision-making.
