Reps ask Customs to raise 2024 revenue target to N6trillion

The House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation on Monday urged the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to work assiduously by increasing the 2024 revenue target of the service to N6 trillion.

Chairman of the committee, Rep. Abubakar Bichi, appealed with the Comptroller General of NCS, Adewale Adeniyi, to think of increasing the targeted N5 trillion when he appeared before it in Abuja on Monday.

Bichi said, “Is there a possibility to increase your revenue? We will be glad if you can make it N6 trillion for the 2024 revenue.

Bichi said the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Tinubu would not be achieved unless the revenue-generating agencies increased their targeted revenue.
