The Tin Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced that it generated an impressive ₦159 billion in revenue for August 2025.
The Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Frank Onyeka, disclosed this during a ceremony to decorate newly promoted officers of the command.
Onyeka attributed the revenue performance to the effective deployment of the B’Odogwu system and ongoing trade modernization initiatives.
“B’Odogwu is doing well and it will do better. It has come to stay,” he said, describing the system as a game-changer in enhancing revenue collection and streamlining port operations.
The B’Odogwu platform integrates critical aspects of port and customs processes under a single digital interface, allowing for faster cargo clearance, accurate valuation, and improved monitoring of trade activities.
At the ceremony, where about 89 percent of officers in the command were elevated to new ranks, Onyeka praised the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and the hard work of the officers. Among those decorated was the command’s Public Relations Officer, Oscar Ivara.
The CAC urged the newly promoted officers to remain committed to excellence, saying: “Keep the flag flying without being misunderstood.”
According to Onyeka, the command remains focused on facilitating trade, securing government revenue, and supporting port stakeholders in achieving timely and cost-effective cargo clearance.
