The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Monday announced that its revenue collection rose to N7.2 trillion in 2025.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale, disclosed this during the celebration of the International Customs Day 2026 held in Abuja.
Speaking at the event, Adewale attributed the revenue performance to improved operational efficiency, enhanced enforcement strategies, and increased compliance by stakeholders.
He noted that the achievement reflected the service’s commitment to supporting the Federal Government’s economic agenda through effective revenue generation and trade facilitation.
The Comptroller-General said the NCS had also intensified its anti-smuggling operations, border surveillance, and use of technology to block revenue leakages while protecting national security.
The 2026 International Customs Day was celebrated under the theme, “Customs Protecting Society through Vigilance and Commitment.”
According to Adewale, the theme underscored the critical role of customs administrations in safeguarding society by preventing the entry of prohibited goods, ensuring safe trade, and promoting economic stability.
He reaffirmed the service’s resolve to deepen collaboration with other security agencies, stakeholders, and international partners to enhance border security and trade efficiency.
The Customs boss added that the NCS would continue reforms aimed at transparency, professionalism, and modernization to sustain revenue growth and strengthen public confidence in the service.
