The Tin-Can Island Command II,of the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, on Wednesday, August 3, said it recorded N531,814,240 revenue from various sources in July.
The command which was formerly known as Lilypond Command, Ijora said the July revenue was N129, 516 million lower than the N661,330, 604 recorded in June.
The command attributed the plunge to the low volume of activities at the terminal occasioned by low level of importation.The command’s performance index is contained in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, in Lagos.
It quoted the command‘s Controller, Alhaji Abdul-Kadir Dalhat, as saying that the command was devising practical ways of ensuring improved revenue profile in spite of challenges with importation.
Dalhat said one of the measures, is the blockage of revenue loopholes to ensure all monies due to government were remitted to it. The command had, recently, announced N1.57billion revenue for May 2016, NAN reports.
