The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Tincan Island Port Command, has exceeded its 2025 annual revenue target, recording over ₦1.569 trillion, surpassing its projection by ₦55.83 billion.
Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Frank Onyeka, announced the development during a press briefing on Tuesday, describing the milestone as a product of discipline, reform-driven operations, and strengthened compliance across the command.
“This growth did not happen by chance,” Onyeka stated. “It is the outcome of deliberate reforms, improved trade processes, and collective responsibility among officers and stakeholders.”
He identified bulk cargoes, general merchandise, and used vehicle imports as major revenue drivers, stressing that transparency and predictable processes contributed to improved compliance levels.

The Area Controller also highlighted continued stakeholder engagement with importers, terminal operators, customs agents, and shipping companies as a key factor in resolving bottlenecks and improving revenue processes. He reaffirmed that enforcement remains a central priority, supported by intelligence-led operations that resulted in seizures of prohibited and improperly declared goods.
Onyeka expressed appreciation to the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, for leadership support and strategic guidance under the Service’s modernization agenda. He assured that the command will consolidate gains, block revenue leakages, strengthen enforcement mechanisms, and expand transparency measures.
“Achieving our target does not mean a relaxation of standards. The Command will sustain vigilance and enforcement to protect government revenue,” he said.
