The Kano/Jigawa Customs Area Command generated N63.07 billion in revenue between January and June 2026.

The command’s Acting Area Controller, Usman Umar Adamu, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the command’s achievements during the first half of the 2026 fiscal year at the Customs House, Bompai, Kano, on Wednesday.

He said the figure exceeded the N58.3 billion generated during the corresponding period of 2025 by N4.6 billion, representing a 7.4 per cent increase.

“This surpassed the N58.3 billion generated during the corresponding period of 2025 by approximately N4.6 billion, representing a growth of about 7.4 per cent, despite the decline in cargo throughput,” he said.

According to him, the Kano Free Trade Zone also generated over N26 billion during the first half of 2026, exceeding the total revenue generated by the zone from January to December 2025 by about N4 billion.

“The Command’s initiatives also led to the recovery of about N3 billion from abuse of transit procedures during the period under review,” he said.

He disclosed that the command also intercepted no fewer than 14 containers over diversion and abuse of transit procedures within the past six months.
