Nigerian Customs: Seme Command Generates N27 Billion in 8 Months – ACG Kaila

In a report by Radio Nigeria Lagos, the Area Controller General (ACG) of the Seme Command of the Nigerian Customs Service, Mohammed Uba Kaila, disclosed that the command generated over N27 billion in revenue within the past eight months. The exact period during which this revenue was generated was not specified in the report. Kaila attributed the significant revenue generation to the Command’s increased vigilance and strategic deployment of resources.

This revenue generation is part of the broader efforts by the Nigerian Customs Service to boost the country’s revenue collection and enhance border security. However, it is unclear how this figure compares to the revenue generated by other commands within the service or the targets set for the command.

The Seme Command, located at the border between Nigeria and Benin, is one of the busiest entry points for goods into Nigeria. Its strategic location makes it crucial for the Nigerian economy, and its performance in revenue collection significantly impacts the country’s overall revenue profile.
