Apapa Customs rakes in N35bn

By Godwin Oritse

THE Apapa Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has raked in  N35 billion as revenue collected on imported goods for August 2016, just as it seized 16 containers for false declaration.

The collection is the highest monthly generated revenue made by any customs command in the country in the last 10 years and the figure is N8bn higher than the N27bn collected in July this year.

Customs Area Comptroller of the Command, Willy Egbudin, urged officers of the command to continually work to redouble their efforts in maximum revenue collection and speed up legitimate trade facilitation.
