The Port Harcourt II Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced that it generated ₦731.2 billion in revenue in 2025, exceeding its target of ₦700.01 billion by 4.46%.
The Command‘s Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Theophilus Duniya, disclosed this in a statement, attributing the remarkable performance to the leadership and commitment of the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Aliyu M. Alkali.
According to CSC Duniya, Comptroller Alkali effectively implemented the policy thrust of the Comptroller-General of Customs, CGC Bashir Adeniyi, and the indigenously developed Unified Customs Management System (UCMS), known as the B’Odogwu platform, for faster cargo clearance.
The spokesperson further stated that the CAC ensured strict adherence to standard operating procedures, maintained high discipline among officers, and sustained continuous engagement with stakeholders.
In his remarks, Comptroller Alkali acknowledged the importance of quality leadership and expressed gratitude to the management of the NCS, led by CGC Adeniyi, for providing an enabling environment that facilitated the achievement.
He also appreciated the cooperation and synergy received from critical stakeholders, noting that their support contributed significantly to the Command’s success.
Comptroller Alkali commended officers of the Command for their dedication, diligence, and professionalism, revealing that their uncompromising posture and patriotism led to major milestones in enforcement activities, including the interception of 75 containers with a cumulative Duty Paid Value (DPV) of ₦47.6 billion.
“30 out of the 75 containers intercepted were found to contain expired, illicit, and unregistered pharmaceutical products. Other cargoes were intercepted for contravening different sections of the Customs laws,” he said.
The CAC added that the seizures would serve as a strong deterrent to individuals intending to violate extant laws.
He urged importers and Customs licensed agents to make honest declarations, reiterating the Command’s commitment to facilitating legitimate trade and enforcing customs regulations while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
