This figure, as released through the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Ifeoma Onuigbo Ojekwu, shows an increase of N45.7billion above the N82.5 billion collected in the same period of 2020. The increase represents 55.4 percent.
On anti-smuggling activities, Mohammed said the command made 29 seizures totalling N9.7 billion Duty Paid Value within the period under review. He said so far, nine suspects have been arrested in connection with the seizures and are at various stages of investigation and prosecution in courts of competent jurisdiction.
Mohammed urged port users to keep abreast with extant import and export guidelines to avoid their cargoes being seized and them facing arrest or prosecution in accordance with the Customs and Excise Management Act . MEANWHILE, the Customs Area Controller has enjoined the newly promoted officers of the Command to embrace Customs related technology and acquire more knowledge to perform better in the face of modernisation.
According to him, the newly promoted officers of the command should see themselves as shining examples of an evolving modern Customs organisation that will be comparable with their peers across the globe.
