Tin Can Island Customs Rakes in ₦1.576 Trillion Revenue in 2025
The Tin Can Island Command of the Nigeria Customs Service has recorded an impressive revenue performance, raking in ₦1.576 trillion in 2025, a major boost for Nigeria’s non-oil revenue drive.
The record-breaking figure reflects increased trade activity at one of the country’s busiest ports, alongside stricter enforcement of customs regulations and improved operational efficiency. Officials attribute the surge to enhanced cargo examination processes, better compliance by importers, and the deployment of modern technology to curb leakages.
Customs authorities at the command noted that sustained collaboration with port stakeholders, shipping companies, and security agencies played a key role in achieving the milestone. The command also intensified efforts against smuggling, duty evasion, and false declarations, ensuring that appropriate duties were paid on imported goods.
Industry observers say the revenue growth highlights the strategic importance of Tin Can Island Port to Nigeria’s economy, especially at a time when the federal government is pushing to strengthen internally generated revenue. The development is expected to positively impact budget implementation, infrastructure funding, and public sector financing.
As the year progresses, the Nigeria Customs Service has reiterated its commitment to transparency, trade facilitation, and revenue optimisation, with Tin Can Island Command positioned to remain a major contributor to national earnings.
