The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command, announced on Monday that it had generated N1.02 trillion in revenue between January and June 2024. Babatunde Olomu, the Customs Area Comptroller overseeing the command, disclosed this during a press briefing in Apapa, Lagos.

Olomu highlighted that this figure marked a significant 143 percent increase compared to the N421 billion collected during the same period in 2023, despite a notable decrease in trade volume.
