Customs Generates N106bn At Tin-Can Island Port
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Tin-Can Island Port Command, Lagos, generated N106.9 billion in the first half of this year as against N103.5 billion in the first half of 2012.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Chris Osunkwo, said this in an interview with newsmen in Lagos.
Osunkwo attributed the increase to diligence on the part of officers of the command.
“Although we had more cargoes in 2012, we generated more revenue in 2013.
“This was based on our insistence that every waybill must be accounted for,’’ he said.
Osunkwo said that the command also made seizures valued at N355 million in the period under review.
He said that the seized items included two vehicles, tissue papers, furniture, soaps, vegetable oil, soft drinks, used clothes, generators and used tyres.
