Tin Can Customs generates ₦154.3bn revenue into government coffers in October

By Steve Agbota

The Tin Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service said it generated ₦154.3 billion into the federal government coffers in the month of October 2025.

The command, which hit another revenue high under the leadership of Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka, has also experienced greater performances in various areas of its operations, especially since the introduction of the Unified Customs Management System, codenamed the B’Odogwu software platform.

The October 2025 revenue record was obtained from the office of the public relations officer, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Oscar Ivara, shows the second-highest revenue generation of the Command with a total of over ₦154.384 billion.

Recall that the Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Onyeka, said in August, when the Command recorded its highest revenue generation ever, that the revenue breakthrough is attributable to the successful deployment of the indigenous B’Odogwu trade platform.

He said the system has significantly improved trade facilitation and enhanced revenue performance.

He said the Command had recorded its highest monthly revenue collection ever in August 2025, raking in ₦159 billion.

However, the CAC had then praised the commitment of his officers and commended stakeholders for contributing to the achievement.

Indeed, he also then commended the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, for recognising the efforts of the Tin Can Island Port Command officers and granting his support in their activities.

The Tin Can Island Port Command has fully keyed into the policy of collaboration, consolidation and innovation as espoused by the CG,C and this has been a driving force in the activities of the Command this year.
