According to a press statement issued by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Customs ,Theophilus Duniya, the command had a revenue target of ₦700.01 billion for 2025, set on the back of its strong performance in 2024. However, it exceeded the target by recording 4.46 per cent performance.

The Area Controller, Comptroller Aliyu Alkali, attributed the achievement to effective leadership, strict compliance with standard operating procedures, and the successful implementation of the Comptroller General of Customs’ policy thrust, supported by the indigenous Unified Customs Management System (B’ODOGWU), which enhanced efficiency and faster cargo clearance.

On enforcement, the Command intercepted 75 containers with a cumulative Duty Paid Value of ₦47.6 billion. Of these, 30 containers were found to contain expired, illicit, and unregistered pharmaceutical products, while others contravened various provisions of the Customs laws. The Area Controller said the seizures would serve as a deterrent to smugglers and urged importers and licensed Customs agents to make honest declarations, reaffirming the command’s commitment to facilitating legitimate trade and upholding professionalism.
