The Seme Command of Nigeria Customs Service
on Monday said it generated N 1.07 billion
revenue in February.
Controller for the command, Victor Dimka,
disclosed this in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Seme.
Dimka said that the revenue for the period was
N 172.6 million higher than N 899.8 million
generated in the corresponding period in 2015.
“When I came to this command in January, one
of the promises I made was that I would collect
maximum revenue and suppress smuggling to its
barest minimum.
“ I am glad we have started achieving that; the
command generated N 1,072,484,462.82 as
revenue in the month of February.
“This is the first of its kind in the month of
February since the creation of the command.
“We were able to achieve this in spite of the
prevailing high exchange rate, the strike by the
Nigerian Ports Authority and the Customs in the
Republic of Benin and protest on
implementation of unifying ex-factory price,’’ he
said.
