The Nigeria Customs Service, Oyo/Osun Area Command, generated ₦81.87 billion in revenue between January and October 2026, representing a 5.3 per cent increase over the amount collected during the corresponding period of 2025.

The Command disclosed that it collected a total of ₦81,875,361,828.95 within the 10-month period, attributing the growth largely to improved supervision and the commitment of officers deployed to excise factories across the area of operation.

The Acting Customs Area Controller, Deputy Comptroller Wale Moses Adewole, said the performance reflected the contributions of officers through effective monitoring, vigilance and adherence to their duties.

Adewole also acknowledged the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and the Service’s Management Team, crediting their policies, operational reforms and institutional support with improving efficiency and revenue monitoring across commands.

He stressed the importance of collaboration with stakeholders, accountability and compliance with existing regulations in sustaining the revenue growth.

The Acting Area Controller assured the Comptroller-General and the Management Team that the Command would strengthen monitoring of excise activities, improve operational efficiency and promote voluntary compliance among stakeholders.

The Command said it would continue to support the Nigeria Customs Service’s statutory responsibilities of revenue generation, trade facilitation and suppression of smuggling as part of efforts to advance national economic development.
