Customs PTML Command Rakes In N90.2bn In Q1 2025

The Customs Area Controller (CAC), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), PTML Command, Comptroller Tenny Daniyan, says the Command generated N90.2 billion in the first quarter of 2025.
Daniyan, who revealed this during a management meeting held in Lagos, stated that the Q1 2025 revenue exceeded that of Q1 2024, showing improved performance.
In Q1 2024, the Command generated N66 billion, marking a rise of N23.2 billion when compared with the same period in 2025.
According to him, the Customs transformation known as B’Odogwu, launched from PTML, generated N189.5 billion between October 2024 and now.
“The Command currently holds the record for the fastest cargo clearance time — two hours for compliant RoRo consignments”, Daniyan said.
He added that the Command aimed to further shorten the clearance time, ensuring efficiency and trade facilitation.
“In addition to Europe-bound vessels, PTML now receives ships from China, expanding trade frontiers and boosting potential revenue”, he noted.
Daniyan stated that PTML Command was recently approved for pharmaceutical imports, showing regulatory compliance and operational capacity.
He stressed that anti-smuggling and enforcement efforts remained firm despite growing trade activities at the port.
The Controller confirmed that officers remained committed to national security while facilitating trade.
“In Q1 2025, the Command recorded seizures, including 75 rounds of 12GA live cartridges from a used Toyota Tundra worth N2.24 million.
“Also seized were four rounds of 9mm ammunition and one empty magazine from a Hyundai Sonata, with DPV of N334,257”, he said.
The comptroller said due to its pilot role for B’Odogwu, the command intensified stakeholder engagement through training for officers and customs agents.
He said practical training sessions improved stakeholders’ understanding of the system’s processes and operations.
Daniyan thanked the Comptroller General, Bashir Adeniyi, for batch-based stakeholder training which is ongoing.
He also appreciated collaboration with other sister agencies which enhanced revenue and reduced clearance time to under an hour.
Daniyan thanked traders for accurate declarations and urged others to emulate them.
He called on all stakeholders to support Customs in making Nigeria Africa’s preferred cargo destination.
