The Tin-Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has recorded another major revenue milestone, generating ₦154.38 billion in October 2025 under the leadership of its Area Controller, Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka.
According to figures released by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Customs Oscar Ivara, the October figure represents the second-highest monthly revenue ever recorded by the Command. The performance comes just two months after Tin-Can posted its all-time high revenue collection of ₦159 billion in August 2025.
Industry observers say the Command has maintained steady growth across its operational units, buoyed by what many now call the “focused, revenue-driven leadership” of Comptroller Onyeka. Stakeholders also credit the improved efficiency to the successful deployment of the Unified Customs Management System, popularly known as the B’Odogwu software platform—an indigenous innovation that has transformed trade processing at the port.
Comptroller Onyeka had earlier attributed the Command’s revenue breakthroughs to the platform’s impact, noting that the system has “significantly improved trade facilitation and enhanced revenue performance,” enabling Tin Can to close gaps, block leakages, and accelerate cargo clearance timelines.
In August, the CAC had commended officers of the Command for their dedication and also appreciated stakeholders for their cooperation, stressing that the results were a product of collective effort. He further acknowledged the support of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewele Adeniyi, whose policy direction centred on collaboration, consolidation and innovation has guided many of the reforms at Tin Can this year.
With the October milestone, the Tin-Can Island Port Command continues to reinforce its position as one of Nigeria’s leading revenue hubs, following through on its commitment to enhanced trade facilitation, improved compliance, and technology-driven operations.
