The Customs Area Controller for Apapa Command, Babatunde Olomu, has disclosed that the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) generated over N1.378 trillion in revenue at the Apapa Port in the first half of the year.
This achievement was attributed to strengthened collaboration with freight forwarders and ongoing modernisation efforts.
The Area Controller announced this during a visit to the headquarters of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) in Lagos.
He said that as a result of collaboration with partners like NAGAFF, the command attained a total collection of N1,378,000,000,000 for the first half of 2025.
He commended the association for embracing customs modernisation, including engagement with platforms like B’Odogwu, and praised the association’s commitment to freight forwarder training through its academy.
The Founder of NAGAFF Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, applauded Olomu for restoring professionalism at the Apapa Command.
He said this has led to a drastic reduction in stakeholder complaints.
Access 24’s correspondent Daniel Tanimu reports that the visit concluded with the decoration of Olomu by NAGAFF president, while members of his management team also received the association’s lapel pin.
