Lagos, Jan. 19, 2023 – The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) generated N20.9 billion revenue in 2022.
This is an increase over the N19 billion generated in 2021.
Juliana Tomo, the Spokesperson for the Command, said in a statement that the revenue figure also represented an improvement of N1,849,747,265.85 when compared to that of the previous year.
The statement quoted Mohammed Gidado, the Customs Area Controller (CAC), as saying that the revenue improvement was made possible due to an improved integrity of passengers in the declaration of goods and high level of compliance towards voluntary payment for courier parcels, passengers accompanied and unaccompanied baggage.
Gidado said the command collected N1.76 billion revenue in December 2022.
He said the improved performance also demonstrated the effectiveness of the strategies that were adopted last year.
“The Command expects an even better performance going forward,” he said. (GBN)
