The Ogun II Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has announced a revenue generation of ₦4.03 billion for January 2025, marking a 104% increase compared to the ₦2.14 billion recorded in the same period last year.
According to The PUNCH, the Controller of the Command, Comptroller Olusola Alade, disclosed this on Thursday during a press briefing at the command’s office in Abeokuta.
Alade revealed that the command also generated ₦32.46 billion in revenue for the year 2024, attributing the surge to the professionalism, diligence, and dedication of officers in exceeding their revenue target.
Alade said, “It may interest you to know that the command generated ₦4,000,335,323.53 in January 2025, compared to ₦2,135,276,673.86 recorded in the corresponding period of 2024.
“This reflects a differential of ₦1.87bn, translating to a 104% increase—a remarkable achievement driven by our officers’ commitment to duty.”
He added that the command’s decisive actions had yielded impressive results, as reflected in the ₦4 billion revenue collected in January alone.
Alade further disclosed that the command recently uncovered four unauthorised factories operating in Ota, Ogun State, without necessary licenses and permits. The affected companies—Evita Moore, Lekan Industries, Scarlet Eagle Ltd, and IBK Ventures—have since been brought under excise control.
