What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Usman Abubakar disclosed this in a statement on Monday.

The Customs Area Controller in charge of the command, Babatunde Olomu, while describing the feat as a fallout of diligence and integrity, said the command would continually engage with stakeholders to improve on the revenue collection achievements and reduce smuggling.

“The N201bn collected in July 2024 and N193bn in September 2024 are spectacular figures capable of being replicated again in the last quarter of the year beginning from October,” Olomu stated.

Olomu averred that the various trade facilitation programmes put in place by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, like the advance ruling, time release study, and Authorised Economic Operator, were being dutifully implemented for the overall benefit of the nation’s economy.

The CAC commended officers of the command for the achievement in revenue collection relying on diligent examination and uncompromising interventions through issuance of demand notices, where and when necessary.
