Apapa Customs Records ₦323 Billion Revenue in July, Sets New Monthly Record

Apapa Customs Records ₦323 Billion Revenue in July, Sets New Monthly Record

The Nigeria Customs Service, Apapa Area Command, says it collected ₦323 billion in July 2026, its highest monthly revenue figure to date. The Command previously recorded ₦304 billion in October 2025. Customs Area Controller Emmanuel Oshoba attributed the result to operational reforms, better compliance, intelligence-led enforcement and relative stability in the foreign exchange market. He said improvements to the B’Odogwu platform, the One-Stop Shop initiative and the Authorised Economic Operator framework have helped speed up cargo processing and support legitimate trade. Oshoba urged officers to sustain transparency, discipline and proper documentation while resolving cargo-related disputes promptly. He also called for stronger cooperation with importers, other agencies and stakeholders to protect government revenue and improve the business environment.

What operational changes at Apapa could explain the jump from the previous ₦304 billion record to ₦323 billion in July?

I agree, the record figure is encouraging, but the operational improvements behind it deserve clear attention too.

A new monthly record is notable, especially considering Apapa remains central to Nigeria's import and customs revenue activity.

Strong collections are good news, but revenue records alone do not tell us whether cargo clearance has become easier for businesses.

The Command should publish the main operational factors behind the figure so importers and other ports can learn from the result.
