The Port and Terminal Multi-services Limited (PTML) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) posted a revenue of N204.7 billion for the first half of 2025 — a 34.1% increase compared to N152.6 billion during the same period in 2024.
This performance was credited to the implementation of the B’Odogwu digital platform, a trade automation system launched in October 2024 to modernise operations and improve compliance.
“The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Port and Terminal Multi-services Limited (PTML) Command has recorded an impressive 34.1% increase in revenue for the first half of 2025, collecting a total of N204,725,634,459.55. This represents a N52 billion rise compared to the N152,648,517,532.05 collected during the same period in 2024.
“The Customs Area Controller (CAC), Comptroller Tenny Daniyan, announced during a media briefing held at the Command in Lagos on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.
“He attributed the performance boost to the successful implementation of the B’Odogwu digital platform, which he described as a transformative tool in trade facilitation and revenue collection,” the statement read in part.
Daniyan added that the Command processed over N301.8 billion worth of trade through the platform, with over 90% stakeholder compliance achieved.
PTML now has the fastest cargo clearance time in the country—just two hours—meeting the World Customs Organisation’s Time Release Study benchmarks. However, this efficiency is only available to stakeholders who submit accurate declarations.
From January to June 2025, the Command received 52 vessels, processed 13,431 containers, and conducted 30,400 cargo assessments. There has also been notable growth in international shipping routes from Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
PTML is the pilot location for the B’Odogwu platform, and the Command is enhancing training for staff and stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation.
While pursuing trade facilitation, Daniyan reaffirmed the Command’s dedication to strict anti-smuggling enforcement. He praised Adewale Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of Customs, for leading the digital reform agenda and congratulated him on his election as Chairman of the World Customs Organisation (WCO) Council.
