The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Port Harcourt II Area Command, Onne, has recorded its highest monthly revenue collection in history, generating N77,325,318,984.07 in April 2026, in a major boost to the Federal Government’s revenue drive under the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi.
The figure, according to a statement was signed by the Ag. Command Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Customs I Paul Gimba, on Tuesday 5 May, 2026, represents a 70.2 per cent increase compared to the amount generated in April 2025, making it the highest monthly revenue ever recorded since the establishment of the Command.
Speaking on the development, the Customs Area Controller of the Command, Comptroller Aliyu Alkali, attributed the feat to the policy direction of the Comptroller-General of Customs and the commitment of officers and stakeholders operating within the port.
He said, “What we have achieved in April is a clear reflection of the vision of the Comptroller-General of Customs and the collective commitment of our officers and stakeholders towards national economic growth.”
Comptroller Alkali said the Command’s improved performance was driven by deliberate operational reforms focused on trade facilitation, strict compliance, and revenue optimisation.
According to him, the Command has continued to simplify cargo clearance procedures while removing avoidable operational bottlenecks to support legitimate trade.
“Our focus has been to create an efficient clearance process while ensuring full compliance with extant government fiscal policies. We understand that trade facilitation and enforcement must work side by side.” Comptroller Alkali said.
He noted that the Command has also sustained a performance-driven culture aimed at surpassing revenue targets and strengthening the ease of doing business within the maritime sector.
He added, “This is not just about revenue. It is about building confidence in our processes, improving operational efficiency, and contributing meaningfully to national development.”
The Customs Area Controller commended officers and men of the Command for their professionalism, discipline, and dedication to duty, describing the achievement as a collective victory.
