Lagos, July 18, 2025 — The Ports Terminal Multi-services Limited (PTML) Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced a significant revenue surge for the second quarter of 2025, recording a total collection of N204.73 billion, marking a 34.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
This development was confirmed by the Customs Area Controller of the command, Comptroller A. J. Abba-Kura, who attributed the impressive performance to improved trade facilitation strategies, enhanced compliance from stakeholders, and the adoption of digital innovations in cargo processing.
The Q2 2025 revenue, totaling N204,725,634,459.55, reflects a sharp rise from the N152.6 billion collected in Q2 of 2024. Abba-Kura emphasized that the PTML Command, known for handling a large volume of vehicle and containerized cargoes, has continued to optimize its operations in line with the Comptroller-General of Customs’ modernization directive.
According to him, improved automation, efficient cargo handling, and increased stakeholder engagement were crucial to the command’s revenue performance. He also highlighted that collaboration with clearing agents and shipping lines helped in fast-tracking clearance and curbing leakages.
“This achievement shows the impact of teamwork, transparency, and commitment to the Nigeria Customs Service’s mandate. We remain focused on surpassing future targets and supporting the Federal Government’s revenue drive,” the Customs boss said.
The PTML Command has been a key contributor to national revenue and remains one of Nigeria’s most strategic customs formations due to its high volume of imports, especially vehicles and machinery.
