ABUJA — The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it generated ₦7.277 trillion in revenue in 2025, exceeding its target of ₦6.584 trillion by 10.24 per cent, as it presented a proposed ₦11.274 trillion revenue target and expenditure estimates for the 2026 fiscal year to the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, disclosed this on Monday during the agency’s budget defence before the committee in Abuja.
Chairman of the House Committee on Customs and Excise, Rep. Leke Abejide, said the exercise was in line with the National Assembly’s constitutional responsibility to scrutinise the agency’s budget proposals.
“It is not a long speech day. It is simply a day to carry out what Sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 Constitution mandate us to do, which is to scrutinise your budget proposal,” Abejide said.
