“We committed to re-aligning our free trade operations, elevating cargo integrity standards, and expanding our scanning capacities.

“Above all, we promised to usher in a new era of customs operations. One built on transparency, efficiency and genuine collaborations with our partners.

“I am pleased to announce that as of yesterday, November 12, 2024, the Nigerian Customs Service has hit its 2024 revenue target of N5.07trn.

“A total of N5, 079, 455, 88, 194, 38tn as of Tuesday has been collected.

“This expected performance projected to exceed our target by 10 per cent validates partnership-driven approach to revenue collection and trade facilitation.

Discussing the service’s strides in trade facilitation, Adeniyi noted that six beneficiaries of the Authorised Economic Operators programme have been carefully selected.

He added that 21 requests have been processed under an advance ruling programme aimed at fostering quicker customs decision-making on import and export cargoes prior to their arrival at the ports.
