The Ports Terminal Multi-services Limited (PTML) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has recorded a total revenue collection of N424.58 billion as of December 12, 2025, surpassing its 2024 performance by a wide margin.
The Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Joe Anani disclosed this at the 2025 end-of-year celebration organised by the Customs Officers Wives Association (COWA), PTML Chapter, in Lagos.
According to Anani, “the 2025 revenue figure of ₦424,584,608,992.26 exceeds the Command’s ₦362.5 billion total collection in 2024 by over ₦62 billion, even with several weeks left in the year. He attributed the strong performance to operational efficiency and the growing impact of the Unified Customs Management System (UCMS), also known as B’Odogwu, noting that full implementation of the platform would further enhance revenue generation and trade facilitation.”
Describing 2025 as an eventful year marked by notable achievements, the Area Controller said; “the Command is positioning itself to achieve a one-hour clearance timeline for compliant Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) cargoes by 2026, in line with the reform agenda of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
On enforcement, Anani said “the PTML Command recorded significant anti-smuggling successes during the year, preventing illicit and expired drugs, arms and ammunition, and other prohibited items from entering the country.”
He highlighted “the seizure of cocaine valued at ₦29.4 billion, which was handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), as one of the Command’s major breakthroughs.”
The Comptroller credited the Command’s achievements to sustained collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services (DSS), Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), and other sister agencies.
Also speaking, the Chairperson of COWA, PTML Chapter, Caroline Anani, said the end-of-year gathering reflected the Command’s culture of unity and mutual support.
She noted that COWA played a critical role in supporting the Command’s productivity in 2025, stressing that workforce performance is closely linked to stability on the home front.
Anani said; ”the association carried out several welfare and health-focused initiatives during the year, including mental health awareness programmes, blood pressure and blood sugar screenings, eye screening and treatment, and the donation of medicated glasses.”
She added that COWA also organised seminars on home management, food and nutrition, and family care, alongside the distribution of souvenirs to spouses of officers serving in the Command.
The highlight of the event was the donation of food items to women and children by the COWA PTML Chapter, as part of its humanitarian outreach in the spirit of the Christmas season.
