The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) yesterday disclosed that it exceeded its 2025 revenue target by generating N7.277 trillion, surpassing its target of N6.584 trillion by 10.24 per cent, even as it presented its proposed N11.274 trillion 2026 budget to the House of Representatives Committee on Customs and Excise.

The Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, made the disclosure during the budget defence before the committee in Abuja.

Speaking at the session, Chairman of the House Committee on Customs and Excise, Rep. Leke Abejide, said the exercise was in fulfilment of the National Assembly’s constitutional responsibility to scrutinise the agency’s budget estimates.
