Odusanya attributed the success to the consolidation of all export seats into the command, adding that the “remarkable increase was 407 per cent high from $184m collected in the second quarter of the year, up to $937m collected at the end of the third quarter of 2024.”

He explained that in September alone, the command processed 3,363 export containers with a total weight of 221,961.53 metric tonnes valued at $202m.

According to him, the highest contribution came from agricultural commodities including sesame seeds and hibiscus flowers, which accounted for $93.7m followed by manufactured goods at $65m.

Odusanya noted that the command generated a sum of N1.45bn as Nigerian Export Supervision Scheme from all export activities in September.

“The command also collected N88m in duties on exports of previously imported goods, in line with the provisions of the 2022 Fiscal Policy of the government,” he said.
