The Tin Can Island Port Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has reported a strong revenue performance for February 2026.

According to official figures, the Command generated ₦120.46 billion in February 2026. This is higher than the ₦103.61 billion recorded in February 2025, showing an increase of over ₦16.8 billion year-on-year.

The growth has been linked to improved operations and leadership under the Customs Area Controller, Frank Onyeka.

Stakeholders in the industry say the Command has made progress in key areas such as revenue collection, trade facilitation, and anti-smuggling efforts. Since taking office, Onyeka has focused on reducing revenue leakages, improving compliance, and working more closely with port users.

The Command has also increased the use of technology, improved monitoring, and made cargo clearance more efficient. These steps have helped boost transparency and overall productivity.

Engagement with freight forwarders and importers has also improved, helping to build trust and encourage voluntary compliance.

Observers say the leadership style at the Command has contributed to the results, with a strong focus on discipline and enforcement of rules.

The February revenue figure reflects not just increased trade activity, but also better management and enforcement.

With this performance, the Tin Can Island Port Command is expected to maintain or improve its revenue in the coming months.

The results highlight the role of effective leadership in achieving the goals of the Nigeria Customs Service, including revenue generation, trade facilitation, and border security.

As the Nigeria Customs Service continues to focus on revenue generation, trade facilitation, and border security, the progress at Tin Can Island Port under Comptroller Frank Onyeka highlights the impact of effective leadership and sets a strong example for others to follow.
