​The Oyo/Osun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says it generated a total of ₦81.88 billion (₦81,875,361,828.95) between January and October 2026, representing a 5.3 per cent increase over the revenue recorded during the corresponding period in 2025.
​In a statement issued by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Customs I Abdulmalik Akintola, the Acting Customs Area Controller, Deputy Comptroller Wale Moses Adewole, attributed the growth to rigorous supervision and heightened vigilance by officers deployed across excise factories within the command.
​Adewole commended the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and the NCS management team, noting that ongoing operational reforms and strengthened monitoring frameworks have directly enhanced revenue collection efficiency across field commands.
​Reaffirming the Command’s commitment to sustaining the upward trajectory, the Acting Controller emphasized that deeper stakeholder engagement, strict regulatory compliance, and intensified monitoring of excise activities will remain top priorities in supporting national economic development.
