The acting Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adeniyi, has revealed that about 75 percent of Customs revenue collected in the country is generated in Lagos State. He disclosed this when he paid Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu a courtesy visit at the Lagos House, Marina.
Adeniyi, who commended the state government, said that Lagos, as the economic nerve centre of Nigeria, generated 70 to 75 percent of customs revenue in the country. He pledged to work assiduously to ensure smuggling become a thing of the past in Nigeria, so as to boost Made-in-Nigeria products and improve the country’s economy. According to him, Lagos is very strategic, as it is the heartbeat of customs operations.
