World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus said it was not ethical. Guinea-Bissau last month suspended the trial pending an ethical review.

According to the statement, the Command recorded its highest monthly revenue collection of N8,611,414,854.00 in May 2024, attributing it to effective operational strategies such as risk management and audit-based controls.

He stressed that this remarkable performance marks a 276% increase compared to the same period last year.


According to the CAC, “This achievement underscores the Command's commitment to its core responsibilities of trade facilitation, revenue generation, and combating smuggling activities.”


“The compliance of major stakeholders within the Oil and Gas Free Trade Zone has also played a crucial role in enhancing operational transparency and fostering trust between stakeholders and Customs personnel.” He noted.

 

Comptroller Seriki commended the dedication and professionalism of the Command's officers and men, urging them to sustain their efforts in achieving even higher revenue targets. 


He expressed gratitude to all stakeholders and agents operating within the Zone for their compliance and patriotism, which he emphasised as critical to the nation's prosperity.


The CAC further thanked the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, and his management team for their support and pledged continued commitment to advancing the goals and mandates of the Nigeria Customs Service.
