This impressive figure was disclosed by Comptroller Dauda Chana in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Kano.This achievement marks a significant milestone for the NCS, particularly in the Kano/Jigawa Command, which has consistently demonstrated its commitment to trade facilitation and revenue generation. The command’s revenue generation has been on an upward trajectory, with previous records showing N9.7 billion in February, N5.6 billion in October, and N6.9 billion in another month. In 2023, the command generated N52.7 billion in Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). The significant increase in revenue generation can be attributed to the command’s efforts to strengthen trade compliance and enforcement.The NCS’s revenue generation efforts are crucial to the Nigerian government’s plans to diversify its revenue streams and reduce dependence on oil exports. The Kano/Jigawa Command’s achievement is a testament to the NCS’s commitment to this goal.
