The Tin Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has sustained its upward trajectory in revenue collection, amassing over N128.4 billion in May 2025.
Data obtained from the Command’s Public Relations Unit indicate that it generated N128,446,323,224.79 in May 2025, compared to N92,671,603,418.04 collected in the same month of 2024—reflecting a significant increase in monetary terms.
The May collection follows an even higher figure recorded in April 2025, when the Command raked in N145 billion, surpassing the N95.5 billion it generated in April 2024. This consistent growth reflects an emphasis on trade facilitation, revenue assurance, and operational efficiency.
Since assuming office earlier this year, Comptroller Frank Onyeka, the Customs Area Controller at Tin Can, has introduced reforms geared towards aligning the Command’s operations with national revenue goals and the strategic vision of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR. That vision, centered on Consolidation, Collaboration, and Innovation, has guided the restructuring of several key functions at the port.
Speaking on the recent performance, the Command’s Public Relations Officer, Superintendent of Customs Oscar Ivara, emphasized that Comptroller Onyeka has maintained a balanced approach that promotes trade while securing revenue.
“My aim is to generate revenue seamlessly,” Comptroller Onyeka stated. “I encourage trade facilitation, but the trade has to be legitimate and not harmful to the economy.” he said.
