The exact figures show a leap of ₦3.82 billion, with monthly breakdowns highlighting steady gains: ₦5.16 billion in October, ₦3.83 billion in November, and a peak of ₦5.69 billion in December.
“This achievement underscores the diligence, professionalism, and unwavering commitment of our officers and men, who worked tirelessly to meet and surpass the revenue targets assigned to the Command,” Hassan stated.
“It also reflects our firm dedication to contributing meaningfully to the growth of the national economy.”
Hassan credited the success to motivated officers, bolstered by strong support from NCS Management, alongside intelligence-driven operations by the Monitoring and Compliance Team that boosted compliance and revenue.
Looking ahead, he pledged sustained efforts stating, “We intend to consolidate these gains through sustained synergy and continuous dialogue with stakeholders. By engaging and sensitising the local and trading communities, we will continue to discharge our statutory responsibilities while ensuring compliance with government fiscal policies,” the CAC assured.
