The Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Frank Onyeka, disclosed that the Command surpassed its 2025 revenue target of ₦1.524 trillion, describing the achievement as a significant improvement over previous years.
Comptroller Onyeka attributed the success to collective effort, improved operational efficiency and transparency, stressing that the milestone was not the result of individual contributions.
“A tree can never make a forest. I could not have done it alone. Too much has been given to us, and much is expected. Our officers deserve appreciation for their tireless efforts,” he said.
He explained that the awards ceremony reflected a renewed institutional culture within the Service aimed at promoting diligence, professionalism and shared responsibility.
The CAC also highlighted key operational reforms introduced to enhance trade facilitation and internal efficiency, particularly measures designed to eliminate unnecessary delays in file processing.
“Upon assumption of office, I made it clear that files should not be held unnecessarily. If there are issues with files, let them be clearly identified and addressed. If you are not sure what to do, ask,” Onyeka stated.
He further noted that the recent launch of the Time Release Study report by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi, had reinforced the Command’s commitment to fast-tracking legitimate trade while ensuring strict regulatory compliance.
Comptroller Onyeka paid tribute to his predecessor, Deputy Comptroller-General of Customs, Dera Nnadi, describing his tenure as “superb” and crediting him for laying a strong foundation for the Command’s current achievements.
He also expressed appreciation to the Comptroller-General, stakeholders, partners and officers for maintaining confidence in the Command despite prevailing economic and operational challenges.
Speaking on behalf of the award recipients, the honoured officers described the recognition as both an honour and a call to greater responsibility, pledging to sustain professionalism and dedication in service delivery.
