The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command, said it has recorded another historic revenue milestone, generating N28.10bn within 24 hours on Tuesday, 18 August 2026, the highest single-day revenue collection ever recorded by the Command.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Isah Sulaiman, Chief Superintendent of Customs, explained that the feat surpasses the previous daily record of N20.1bn, collected sometime in September 2025, shortly after the assumption of office of the current Customs Area Controller of the command, Emmanuel Oshoba.
“The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command, has recorded another historic revenue milestone, generating N28.10bn only within 24 hours on Tuesday, 18 August 2026, the highest single-day revenue collection ever recorded by the command,” the statement read in part.
According to the statement, the new record comes barely weeks after the command achieved an unprecedented N323bn monthly revenue collection in July 2026, “further demonstrating the sustained impact of reforms, improved compliance, enhanced trade facilitation, intelligence-driven interventions and the increasing efficiency of digital customs processes.”
