He also praised compliant stakeholders<\/strong> whose lawful trade practices boosted collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A key contributor to the Command\u2019s success was the deployment of the Unified Customs Management System (UCMS)<\/strong> \u2014 also known as B\u2019Odogwu<\/strong> \u2014 which enhanced transparency, efficiency, and accountability in cargo clearance processes. The command also intensified performance reviews and revenue recovery measures to strengthen collections throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In terms of trade facilitation, Apapa Customs expanded stakeholder engagements following the rollout of the Authorised Economic Operator (AEO)<\/strong> programme and strengthened the One\u2011Stop Shop (OSS)<\/strong> initiative to speed up the processing and release of compliant cargo. Efforts were reported to further expand the use of FS6000 non\u2011intrusive scanning technology<\/strong>, capable of scanning up to 200 containers per hour, to boost operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Command\u2019s performance highlights the impact of modernization and stakeholder collaboration on revenue growth and trade facilitation, positioning Apapa Port as a critical engine for national revenue mobilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n January 7, 2026 \u2014 Source: DailyTrend<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Apapa Area Port Command has announced that it collected \u20a62,930,508,827,110.32 in revenue during 2025, marking a 24.32\u202f% increase compared with the \u20a62.36\u202ftrillion generated in 2024.
