The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has disclosed that it seized 298 smuggled goods into the country worth ₦7.6 billion in the first three months of 2025.
Naija News reported that it generated ₦1.75 trillion revenue for the country in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025.
The Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, stated this on Tuesday, in a press conference, at Service’s headquarters, in Maitama, Abuja.
Adeniyi said the seized 298 smuggled items represented a 78.41 percent increase when compared with seizures made in the fourth quarter of 2024.
“The Nigeria Customs Service maintained robust anti-smuggling operations during the first quarter of 2025, recording 298 seizures with a total Duty Paid Value (DPV) of ₦7,698,557,347.67. This represents a significant 78.41% increase compared to the ₦4,315,162,568.35 recorded in Q4 2024, demonstrating heightened operational effectiveness.
“However, when compared to Q1 2024’s ₦9,587,256,998.05, the Service observed a 19.70% reduction in DPV, attributable to improved compliance through sustained stakeholder engagement and the deterrent effect of our enforcement activities,” he said.
