The Kaduna Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has generated a revenue of more than ₦32.207 billion, surpassing its 2024 target by 11.21 percent.

A statement issued on Saturday in Kaduna by Ridwan Yusuf, Chief Superintendent of Customs and Public Relations Officer for the command, said the actual revenue target of the preceding year was ₦28.96 billion, which was exceeded by ₦3.24 billion.

He said that the revenue generated in 2024 was also higher by 46.65% when compared to the ₦16.378 billion revenue realised in 2023.

According to him, the year-on-year growth was a historic achievement for the command, and the highest since its establishment.

“The ₦15.8 billion increase over the previous year’s revenue highlights the Command’s operational efficiency and effective engagement with stakeholders, including importers, exporters, and Customs clearing agents.

“Throughout 2024, the Command held multiple meetings and roundtable discussions to address trade challenges, foster collaboration, and promote smooth trade facilitation.

“Beyond its operational success, the Command demonstrated a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.

“Initiatives such as the provision of drinking water facilities and regular security meetings with host communities have strengthened relationships and fostered mutual trust,” the statement added.

It said that the Comptroller, Mr Tijjani Abe, had pledged to sustain the momentum in 2025 through continued collaboration with stakeholders and vigilance against smuggling.

He reiterated commitment to delivering excellent service for greater accomplishments in the fiscal years ahead.
