Nigeria's customs operations at Apapa port collected 2.4 trillion naira from January through October 2025, exceeding the previous year's full annual total with two months remaining. The command set another milestone during October by bringing in 304 billion naira within a single month, establishing a record for any customs location across the service.

Comptroller Emmanuel Oshoba credited staff commitment and modernization efforts for driving the financial performance. The facility plans to launch drive-through scanning technology that can process roughly 150 containers each hour straight from dockside areas. Officials describe this advancement as transformative for port activity throughout West Africa since it will cut down clearance periods substantially. Officers recently completed specialized preparation sessions to handle the new equipment system.

The command maintains strict oversight of revenue collection while preventing duty evasion through close monitoring of product classification codes. Oshoba has conducted surprise inspections along roadways leading to the port facility to coordinate with trucking companies and shipping agents. These direct engagements aim to speed up cargo removal and prevent bottlenecks that could slow examination procedures. Apapa handles more than 40 percent of the seaborne trade for the nation.
