The Tin Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has surpassed its 2025 revenue target, recording a total collection of N1.56 trillion as at December 23, 2025.
The Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Frank Onyeka, stated this on Tuesday while briefing journalists in Lagos on the Command’s activities for the year. He said the figure represents an excess of N51.8 billion above the revenue target assigned to the Command for 2025.
Comptroller Onyeka noted that the Command is still expecting additional revenue inflow, with eight days remaining before the end of the year. He described the achievement as encouraging and a reflection of sustained operational efficiency and stakeholder cooperation.
According to him, the impressive revenue performance was driven largely by improved compliance from stakeholders, effective trade facilitation measures, and the impact of the B’Odogwu trade modernisation system.
He noted that imports such as general merchandise, bulk cargo and used vehicles contributed significantly to the high revenue yield.
The Controller explained that the Command’s policy of addressing multiple alerts helped build confidence among importers, attracted more cargo traffic to Tin Can Island Port, and ultimately boosted revenue generation.
He also attributed the success to the support and leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, PhD, noting that the guidance and reforms introduced by the Service’s leadership played a key role in achieving the milestone.
Comptroller Onyeka commended officers and men of the Tin Can Command for their dedication and hard work, which he said translated into the impressive revenue performance recorded during the year.
On enforcement, he said the Command recorded several seizures of prohibited and improperly declared goods as part of its anti-smuggling operations, reaffirming its commitment to protecting the nation’s economy and ensuring strict compliance with customs laws.
