The revenue performance represents a 5.3 per cent increase over the amount generated during the corresponding period of 2025, underscoring the Command’s sustained commitment to efficient revenue collection and the effective discharge of its statutory responsibilities.

The Acting Area Controller further emphasised the importance of collaboration, accountability and sustained stakeholder engagement in consolidating the Command’s revenue achievements.
He noted that effective synergy with relevant stakeholders, coupled with strict adherence to extant regulations, remains essential to sustaining the positive revenue trajectory.
He therefore reassured the Comptroller-General of Customs and the Management Team of the Command’s unwavering commitment to building on this achievement through strengthened monitoring of excise activities, improved operational efficiency and the continuous promotion of voluntary compliance among stakeholders.
The Oyo/Osun Area Command remains resolute in supporting the Nigeria Customs Service’s mandate of revenue generation, trade facilitation and suppression of smuggling in the overall interest of national economic development.
