The Tin-Can Island Port Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has recorded another milestone in revenue generation, pulling in a total of ₦128.45 billion in May 2025, under the leadership of Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka.
According to data released by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Customs Oscar Ivara, the sum of ₦128,446,323,224.79 was realized last month. This represents a significant increase compared to the ₦92,671,603,418.04 generated in May 2024—an impressive year-on-year growth that underscores the Command’s rising performance trajectory.
In April 2025, the Command also surpassed expectations with a revenue of ₦145 billion, up from ₦95.5 billion in April 2024.
Comptroller Onyeka, who took charge of the Command earlier this year, has attributed the consistent growth in revenue to improved operational efficiency, stakeholder collaboration, and strict adherence to trade facilitation policies. He reiterated his commitment to supporting legitimate trade while maintaining vigilance against smuggling and economic sabotage.
“We are committed to seamless revenue generation and trade facilitation, but the trade must be legal and not harmful to our economy,” Onyeka emphasized.
The Customs Area Controller also affirmed that the Command remains aligned with the strategic goals of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, particularly in driving reforms that enhance efficiency, transparency, and compliance.
The Tin-Can Island Port Command continues to earn commendations from stakeholders for its robust engagement strategies, improved cargo clearance processes, and unrelenting efforts in anti-smuggling activities.
Observers say the Command’s consistent revenue growth is a clear indicator of its pivotal role in national economic development and a positive reflection of ongoing reforms within the Nigeria Customs Service.
