The Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Adewale Adeniyi, has said the agency’s revenue rose by 74 per cent to N4.49 trillion in the last year.

Adeniyi noted that the Service’s revenue increased significantly to N4.49 trillion, compared to the N2.5 trillion recorded in the same period last year.

According to him, the Service is working closely with stakeholders to ensure the smooth implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, AfCFTA.
