For the first five months of the current year, Nigeria’s export earnings hit $1.2 billion, as container throughput surged compared to the same period last year.
This information was disclosed by the Nigeria Customs Service, which noted that it processed 21,376 export containers in the period under review.
This growth was attributed to heightened export activities and the implementation of sustained trade facilitation measures.
This was revealed on Thursday during a joint security briefing in Abuja by the NCS's National Public Relations Officer, Assistant Comptroller of Customs Abdullahi Maiwada.
According to Maiwada, who was represented by Titus Omojali, Chief Superintendent of Customs, export profits significantly increased after falling to $171.76 million in March.
