Nigeria Customs Generates N178bn Revenue at PTML

The Nigeria Customs Service at the Port and Terminal Multiservices Limited (PTML) generated N178 billion in revenue within eight months under the leadership of Area Controller Joseph Anani. This achievement highlights improvements in trade operations and compliance at one of the country's busiest vehicle import terminals.

The disclosure was made during the official handover ceremony to the newly deployed Acting Controller, Deputy Controller Nura Ibrahim Miko. The command consolidated the implementation of a unified customs management system, popularly known as "Odogwu Accord," which is a digital customs platform aimed at stabilizing cargo processing operations.

Key initiatives included the rollout of an hour clearance process for compliant vehicles, aimed at reducing cargo dwell time and enhancing ease of doing business at the port. Additionally, the command strengthened enforcement activities to intercept and transfer illicit drugs and arms, collaborating with agencies such as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.

Miko pledged to sustain operational efficiency and deepen trade facilitation.
