The Kaduna Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) generated N14.68 billion as revenue between October and December, 2025, recording a 35 per cent increase over the same period of the previous year.

The Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Sa’ad Hassan, disclosed this on Tuesday during a press briefing at the command’s headquarters in Kabala Doki, Kaduna.

Hassan said the figure represented a significant improvement compared to the N10.86 billion generated in the corresponding period of the previous year, reflecting a revenue increase of about N3.82 billion.

According to him, the achievement underscores the command’s commitment to its core mandate of revenue generation, trade facilitation and protection of the national economy.

A breakdown of the revenue showed that the command collected N5.16 billion in October, N3.83 billion in November and N5.68 billion in December.

The controller attributed the improved performance to the diligence, professionalism and dedication of officers and men of the command, as well as enhanced intelligence gathering and compliance monitoring.

He also credited the success to effective collaboration among units within the service, particularly the Customs Intelligence Unit, Valuation Unit and Customs Police Unit.

Hassan stated that the command would continue to strengthen synergy with stakeholders, including traders and local communities, to sustain the momentum while enforcing compliance with government fiscal policies.

He said the achievement aligned with the policy thrust of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, anchored on consolidation, collaboration and innovation.

The area controller appealed to factories and terminal operators to ensure timely payment of excise duties, import duties and other statutory charges, assuring stakeholders of the command’s commitment to transparency and professionalism.

He expressed appreciation to the management of the Nigeria Customs Service and other stakeholders for their support and cooperation, which he said had contributed to the command’s performance.
