According to Bomodi, the amount generated surpassed the achievements of the Service last year by N289,364,116,786 or 28.83% adding that this is even more remarkable given the fact that only 116,691 Pre-Arrival Assessment Reports (PAARs) were issued against 129,667 processed in the same period of 2021.
He added that the sum of N156,315,758,646 was also generated into the non-federation account as collections made on behalf of other Government Agencies.
