The Oyo\/Osun Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has posted an impressive 95% increase in revenue collection in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. <\/p>\n
Led by Acting Comptroller Wale Moses Adewole, the command generated \u20a627.2 billion between January and March 2026, up from \u20a613.97 billion in Q1 2025. <\/p>\n
A breakdown of the generated revenue revealed that the command raked in a total sum of N5,977,766,941.65 in January 2026 which was about N2 billion lower (23% down) than the total sum of N7,804,408,776.88 collected in the same period of 2025.<\/p>\n
However, despite a dip in January, revenue rebounded strongly in February and March. In February the command’s revenue collection jumped up astronomically to a total sum of N8,767,974,864.40 against the very low total revenue of N2,289,193,870 realized in the corresponding period, last year 2025. This year’s February revenue is over 383% higher than the revenue collected the same period last year. February\u2019s performance was the standout, with collections nearly quadrupling year-on-year. <\/p>\n
In March 2026, Acting Comptroller Adewole’s administrative ingenuity and thoroughness further shored up the revenue generation of the command in the month under review to a total sum of N12,454,516,158.62. In the corresponding period of last year, the command’s generated revenue was a patry sum of N3,877,668,667. This year’s March revenue achievement represents 321% rise over last year’s. Acting Comptroller Adewole\u2019s administrative reforms and enforcement measures are credited with driving the surge.<\/p>\n
Overall, the command\u2019s Q1 results underscore a significant improvement in efficiency and compliance, positioning Oyo\/Osun as one of the strongest performing Customs Commands in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
