The Nigerian Customs Service in the Apapa Area Command has made a lot of money! Between January and September 2024, they collected N1.5 trillion, which is a new record for them.

This great result shows that their plans are working well and that they are very dedicated to their job.

He was very happy with his team and said, “This is a fantastic achievement, and we must keep working this hard. We think there are more ways to make money, and we will keep trying to do even better.”
