The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) needs to generate N7 trillion between July and December 2026 to meet its revenue target for the year amid a spate of ongoing reforms and a war in the middle east that has disrupted global shipping calendars.
On Monday, the appropriation committee of the Nigerian Senate approved a revenue target of N11.074 trillion for the Service, about N4 trillion more than it generated in the 2025 fiscal year.
So far, as at June 2026, Customs has generated N4.043 trillion, as reported by Adewale Adeniyi, the comptroller general of Customs.
The service’s 2025 revenue haul of N7.2 trillion that exceeded its beat-down target of N6.5 trillion was impressive to its principals.
In February, amid meetings with the National Assembly, Adeniyi told journalists he was confident the Service could meet N9 trillion in revenue this year.
