The Nigeria Customs Service announced that customs revenue reached N1.4 trillion in September and October 2026, a figure that reflects the agency’s ongoing efforts to improve revenue collection.
During the two-month period, the service processed 9,195 Pre‑Arrival Assessment Reports and 99,839 Single Goods Declarations, according to the agency’s statement.
These numbers come at a time when Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is seeking to strengthen its fiscal position through enhanced customs enforcement and compliance.
The high volume of declarations indicates robust trade activity at Nigerian ports, underscoring the importance of customs duties as a source of national revenue.
The revenue boost is expected to support the government’s broader fiscal objectives and contribute to the country’s economic development plans.
