The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Tincan Island Port Command, has recorded a historic revenue performance, announcing a collection of ₦1.6 trillion, surpassing its 2025 target of ₦1.524 trillion.
The milestone was unveiled during an awards and recognition ceremony held on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at the Command’s headquarters in Lagos, where outstanding officers were honoured for exceptional service.
Speaking at the event, the Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Frank Onyeka, described the feat as a major operational breakthrough driven by teamwork, efficiency and transparency.
“This achievement is the product of collective effort. A tree can never make a forest. I could not have done it alone. Our officers deserve appreciation for their tireless commitment to duty”, Onyeka said.
He explained that the ceremony reflects a growing culture within the Service to reward diligence, professionalism and shared responsibility across all units.
Onyeka also highlighted reforms introduced to strengthen trade facilitation, including directives to eliminate unnecessary delays in cargo and file processing.
“When I assumed office, I made it clear that files must not be held without reason. If there are issues, they should be identified and resolved promptly. And if you are unsure, ask questions”, he stated.
The CAC added that the recently launched Time Release Study by the Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, has further reinforced the Command’s resolve to fast-track legitimate trade while sustaining strict regulatory compliance.
He commended his predecessor, Deputy Comptroller General Dera Nnadi, describing his leadership as instrumental in laying the foundation for the Command’s recent successes.
Onyeka also expressed appreciation to the Comptroller General, Adewale Adeniyi, stakeholders, partners and officers for their continued confidence and cooperation despite prevailing economic and operational challenges.
The Tincan Island Port Command’s ₦1.6 trillion haul now stands as one of the strongest revenue performances in the history of the NCS, underscoring its strategic role in Nigeria’s maritime trade and revenue generation.
