Attah said the amount was realised from January to June
2021, adding that this was far more than the N713.5 billion generated within
the same period in 2020.
According to him, there is a positive difference of N290.2
billion.
“Hitting the Trillion-Naira mark within six months is
unprecedented in the Service. This feat is as a result of the resolute pursuit
of what is right and willingness to adapt to changes brought about by global
health challenges occasioned by covid-19.
“The Service revenue profile continues to be on the increase
due to ongoing reforms that exploit the potentials of technology.
“This is possible through robust automation of the processes
and procedures. Deploys Officers strictly based on the Standard Operating
Procedure.
“Robust stakeholder sensitisation resulting in more
informed/voluntary compliance, as well as, improved working relationship with
the National Assembly” he explained.
“As stated by the CGC earlier in the year, it is always the
desire of the Service to generate more revenue than what is set for it, given
favourable environment.
“NCS will always be willing and happy to break its records
as it is in this case of over One-Trillion naira in 6 months,” he said.
Similarly, Attah also disclosed that within the period under
review, the service effected, a total number of 2,333 assorted seizures with
duty paid value at N4.4 billion.
He noted that Some of these seizures included dangerous
items like arms and ammunition, illicit drugs and food items like rice,
vegetable oil.
He added that what were seized could have had grave
consequences on national security and economy.
