The Kaduna Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, has announced a significant improvement in revenue performance, recording ₦14.68 billion in the last quarter of 2025.
The disclosure was made on Tuesday at a press briefing held at Kabala Doki in Kaduna State by the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Sa’ad Hassan, who presented the Command’s operational scorecard for the period covering October to December 2025.
According to the Comptroller, the revenue figure represents a 35 per cent increase over the ₦10.86 billion generated during the same period in 2024, amounting to a growth difference of more than ₦3.8 billion.
Comptroller Hassan described the achievement as evidence of the diligence, professionalism, and commitment of officers and men of the Command, noting that the improved performance reflects Customs’ contribution to national economic growth.
A month-by-month breakdown of the revenue showed that the Command generated ₦5.16 billion in October, ₦3.83 billion in November, and ₦5.68 billion in December.
He stated that the Command would continue to implement measures to enhance revenue collection through collaboration with other service units, sustained engagement with traders and host communities, and rigorous enforcement of compliance with government fiscal policies.
The Area Controller attributed the success recorded during the quarter to improved motivation from the Management of the Nigeria Customs Service, as well as the continuous deployment of intelligence and reconnaissance by monitoring and compliance teams.
He also commended the Customs Intelligence Unit, Valuation Unit, and Customs Police Unit for their cooperation and prompt actions, which he said contributed significantly to the Command’s achievements.
Comptroller Hassan noted that the performance aligns with the policy direction of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, whose leadership is driven by the principles of consolidation, collaboration, and innovation.
In his concluding remarks, he appealed to factories, terminal operators, and traders to ensure the timely payment of excise duties, import duties, and other statutory charges, assuring stakeholders of the Command’s continued commitment to its mandate as provided in the Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023.
The briefing ended with appreciation to the management of the Nigeria Customs Service and critical stakeholders for their support and collaboration in advancing the objectives of the Kaduna Area Command.
