The Nigeria Customs Service, Port Harcourt Area One command said it generated N24.56 billion as revenue between January and June.
The Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr Harry Samuel, said in Port Harcourt that the bulk of the revenue in the period under review came from import duties.
Samuel said that the command’s revenue profile in the first half of the year had positioned it to surpass the N48 billion annual revenue target set for the command by the customs headquarters in Abuja.
“The command under the leadership of our Area Comptroller has been working hard to ensure that we achieved the revenue target given by the customs headquarters.
“We are very optimistic that we will surpass that target before the end of this year,'' he said.
According to Samuel, the command generated N10.62 billion in June and averaged more than N3 billion in the other months under consideration.
“The port under Area one command is a user friendly one. We are encouraging importers to use it to bring their cargoes.
“It is a bulk cargo port, but containerised goods can also be brought in,'' he said.
Samuel said that the command had a policy of clearing valid goods within 48 hours, adding that it also “has zero tolerance for contraband goods''.
On the port’s community, Samuel also said that the command maintained cordial relationship with the importers, clearing agents and other port users.
“We dialogue and interact with them regularly on the way forward and how to ensure smooth operations at the port,'' he said.
