The Nigeria Customs Service’s Edo/Delta Area Command declared N30 billion in income from January to August.

The statement was made by the command Comptroller, Babatunde Olomu, on Tuesday during a media briefing in Warri, Delta State, while providing an assessment of how the command has fared, particularly in the areas of income generation, exports, seizure security, and infrastructure.

Olomu insisted that the challenges of low trade influx and swings in transaction rates did not deter its resolve in ensuring that revenue is maximised.

He also gave a rundown of export activities, including the volume of crude oil lifted within the period of review.

The briefing also presented an opportunity for the customs to highlight some of its construction projects aimed at a better and quality service delivery to the nation.
