The Tin Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has set a new performance record, generating ₦159 billion in revenue for August 2025, its highest monthly collection so far. The announcement was made by the Area Controller, Comptroller Frank Onyeka, during a ceremony to decorate newly promoted officers of the command.

Comptroller Onyeka, in his remarks, credited the revenue milestone to the successful deployment of the B’Odogwu system and ongoing trade modernisation initiatives.

He emphasised the system’s transformative impact, stating, “B’Odogwu is doing well and it will do better. It has come to stay.”

During the promotion exercise, 89% of officers at the command received new ranks, reflecting the leadership of Comptroller General Bashir Adewale Adeniyi and the dedication of the officers. Among those decorated was Oscar Ivara, the Public Relations Officer, who was elevated to the rank of Chief Superintendent of Customs (CSC).

Comptroller Onyeka urged the newly promoted officers to uphold their performance and integrity, saying, “Keep the flag flying without being misunderstood.”
