Despite the recent strike called by the Maritime
Workers Union of Nigeria, MWUN, Apapa area, Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has
generated N221, 929,294,437 between January and September.
The Customs Area Comptroller, Mr. Charles Edike,
said this while responding to questions on the impact of the strike.
He said the command only experienced some delays in
payments and was optimistic that due revenue will be collected as soon as work
resumes fully.
The collected revenue, according to Edike, is 39.65
percent higher in attaining the annual target, compared to N216, 337,949,557
collected within the same period in 2014.
Currently, the command had collected 91 percent of
its targeted revenue for this year, achieved despite declining volume of
imports, restrictions on foreign exchange, affecting over 40 items, and general
economic uncertainty occasioned by the elections.
