The Tin Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced a revenue haul of ₦159 billion for August 2025, underscoring the impact of technology-driven reforms on port operations.

Customs Area Controller (CAC) Comptroller Frank Onyeka disclosed this during the decoration of newly promoted officers of the command, where about 89 percent of personnel received new ranks.

Onyeka attributed the command’s impressive performance to the successful deployment of the B’Odogwu system, a digital platform that integrates customs and port processes under one interface.

According to him, the system has transformed cargo clearance, valuation, and trade monitoring, significantly boosting revenue.

“B’Odogwu is doing well, and it will do better. It has come to stay,” Onyeka said, describing the platform as a game-changer for customs operations.

Among the officers decorated was the command’s Public Relations Officer, Oscar Ivara. Onyeka praised the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR, for driving modernisation in the service and commended the command’s officers for their dedication.

He urged the newly promoted officers to sustain the momentum of excellence.
“Keep the flag flying without being misunderstood,” he charged.

Onyeka further emphasised that the Tin Can Command remains committed to trade facilitation, revenue generation, and strengthening partnerships with port stakeholders to ensure timely and cost-effective cargo clearance.
