Tin-Can Customs records N20.9bn revenue in August
The Tin-Can Island Command of Nigeria Customs Service says it realised N20.9 billion revenue in August against the N20.4 billion it collected in July.
The Area Comptroller, Jibrin Alkali, on Friday in Lagos, said that the revenue was higher by more than N500 million.
Alkali said that the collection was the highest revenue the command had collected in the history of the Tin-Can Island Port.
“The revenue that we collected for government in August is the highest since the establishment of the port 35 years ago,” the Comptroller said.
He, however, added that the command still had some challenges of false or under-declaration by importers.
According to him, the trend is common among importers of vehicles, furniture, used tyres, printed wax, tissue paper and vegetable oil.
He said that the command had re-strategised and were able to catch some of such importers.
