The Tin-Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has delivered a commanding revenue performance for February 2026, reinforcing the decisive role of leadership and operational precision in public sector efficiency.
At the centre of this surge is the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka, whose stewardship has continued to redefine the Command’s fiscal trajectory and institutional discipline.
Official figures released by the Command show a total revenue haul of ₦120,462,054,345.72 for February 2026, marking a significant leap from the ₦103,612,383,381.39 recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.
The year-on-year increase of over ₦16.8 billion underscores a sustained growth pattern, firmly positioning the Command as one of the most formidable revenue engines within the NCS architecture.
Stakeholders across the maritime sector have credited the impressive outing to Onyeka’s proactive leadership, particularly his unwavering focus on plugging leakages, strengthening compliance frameworks, and tightening enforcement mechanisms.
Under his direction, the Command has deepened its reliance on technology-driven processes, enhanced cargo monitoring systems, and accelerated clearance procedures, measures that have collectively boosted efficiency and transparency.
Equally pivotal has been his sustained engagement with key industry players, including freight forwarders and importers, a strategy that has fostered trust, improved communication, and driven voluntary compliance.
Observers within the sector describe Onyeka’s performance as both strategic and transformative, citing his hands-on leadership style and firm stance against infractions as critical factors in the Command’s renewed momentum.
Beyond improved trade volumes, the February figures reflect a culture of discipline and accountability, driven by a motivated workforce aligned with clearly defined institutional goals.
With this upward trajectory, the Tin-Can Island Port Command appears well on course to surpass its revenue benchmarks, offering a compelling template for performance excellence within the Nigeria Customs Service.
