The Kaduna Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has recorded a revenue haul of ₦14.68 billion between October and December 2025, representing a 35 per cent rise compared to the same period in the previous year.
The disclosure was made on Tuesday by the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Sa’ad Hassan, during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters in Kabala Doki, Kaduna.
Hassan noted that the performance marked a notable improvement over the ₦10.86 billion generated during the corresponding period last year, amounting to an increase of about ₦3.82 billion.
According to him, the achievement underscores the command’s commitment to its core mandate of revenue generation, trade facilitation and protection of the national economy.
A breakdown of the revenue showed that the command collected N5.16 billion in October, N3.83 billion in November and N5.68 billion in December.
The controller attributed the improved performance to the diligence, professionalism and dedication of officers and men of the command, as well as enhanced intelligence gathering and compliance monitoring.
He also credited the success to effective collaboration among units within the service, particularly the Customs Intelligence Unit, Valuation Unit and Customs Police Unit.
Hassan stated that the command would continue to strengthen synergy with stakeholders, including traders and local communities, to sustain the momentum while enforcing compliance with government fiscal policies.
He said the achievement aligned with the policy thrust of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi , anchored on consolidation, collaboration and innovation.
The area controller appealed to factories and terminal operators to ensure timely payment of excise duties, import duties and other statutory charges, assuring stakeholders of the command’s commitment to transparency and professionalism.
He expressed appreciation to the management of the Nigeria Customs Service and other stakeholders for their support and cooperation, which he said had contributed to the command’s performance.
