PTML rakes in N73bn revenue

By on January 19, 2014

The Nigerian Customs Service, NCS, Ports and Terminals Multi-services Limited, PTML, Command, has said it collected a total revenue of N73.21 billion in 2013.

Briefing newsen in Lagos, Head of the Command and acting Comptoller General, NCS, Mr Odunmbaku, represented by Mr Steve Okonmah, Public Relations Officer of the Command, said the amount is N1.94 billion or 2.7 per cent  higher than the N71.27 billion revenue collected in 2012.

He added that the amount fell short of its overall target.

He added that the unexpected withdrawal of Maerskline Shipping  Agency  in April 2013 affected it negatively in meeting its target.

Admitting  that the company was a huge source of revenue generation to the command, he said: “There were seizures of six containers conveying offensive items in 2013. They include five 40ft containers  which contained furniture, fireworks, vehicles, arms and ammunition.

“Another 20ft container was also found with 240 bales of printed wax and six vehicles  and were all seized.”
