The Port Harcourt II Command, Nigeria Customs Service, has disclosed that it surpassed its 2025 revenue target of N700.01 billion with N31.25 billion representing 4.46%.
This outstanding performance, under the leadership and commitment of Comptroller Aliyu M Alkali as the Customs Area Controller, has been attributed to the fui implementation of the Comptroller-General of Customs’ policy thrust and the indigenous developed Unified Customs Management System (B’ODOGWU) platform for faster cargo clearance.
Comptroller Aliyu M Alkali ensured strict adherence to standard operating procedures, maintained high discipline among officers, and fostered continuous engagement with stakeholders.
While acknowledging the importance of providing quality leadership, Comptroller Alkali expressed his gratitude to the management of the Nigeria Customs Service, led by the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi MFR, for providing an enabling environment that facilitated this achievement. He also appreciated the cooperation and synergy enjoyed from critical stakeholders who contributed to the Command’s success story.
Comptroller Alkali praised the officers of the Command for their dedication, diligence, and professionalism. He stated that the officers’ uncompromised posture and patriotism shaped the incredible miles in the interception of 75 containers with a cumulative Duty Paid Value of N47.6 billion.
