Funding provisions for the new hires were made under the personnel cost category, consistent with the Service\u2019s updated salary structure.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The personnel budget was computed based on an existing staff strength of 16,245 officers, in addition to the expected intake of 3,927 cadets for the 2024\/2025 financial year.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">While reviewing the Customs budget under the N1.13 trillion appropriation, the, Committee of Supply, presided over by Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, approved a projected revenue generation of N1.07 trillion.

Lawmakers argued that these levies are not supported by any Act of the National Assembly and insisted that the Service adhere strictly to the 4% FOB collection framework enshrined in the Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Volume 110).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Members of the House also called on the NCS to deepen its commitment to corporate social responsibility, particularly through initiatives that would enhance relations with communities located along Nigeria\u2019s borders.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the budget report, the 2024 revenue projection stood at N5.08 trillion, but actual figures surpassed expectations, reaching N6.1 trillion\u2014an increase of N1.03 trillion.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noteworthy capital projects proposed for 2025 include the completion of the NCS headquarters complex, development and refurbishment of Customs cantonments, an International Conference Centre, the establishment of a Customs University, Training Colleges, Multi-functional Theatres, Warehousing facilities, Barracks, and Housing schemes across different zones and operational commands.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The budget also covers procurement of critical operational assets such as Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), aircraft, helicopters, patrol boats for anti-smuggling activities, official and duty vehicles, IT infrastructure including computer hardware and software, as well as electricity transformers and generators.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In total, the House approved a revenue target of N6.58 trillion for the 2025 fiscal year.
