The Niger Area Command of Nigeria Customs Service, says it
generated N1.9 billion from January to September.
The Area
Controller, Mr Benjamin Binga, disclosed on Tuesday in Minna that the command
also seized 3,278 bags of rice and 55 vehicles with Duty Paid Value of N52.6 million
and 51.6 million respectively during the period.
According
to him, the command, made up of Niger, Kogi and Kwara states, will meet its
2017 revenue target of N2.8 billion by the end of the year.
The
controller stressed that customs personnel would continue to mount surveillance
and adopt measures to make smuggling impossible in the area.
“The
command has deployed competent officers to manage all identified illegal routes
used by smugglers to bring in unwholesome goods into the country,” Binga said.
He
solicited for the support of community leaders in the three states to assist
customs field officers with vital information on the movement of smugglers.
