The Port and Terminal Multipurpose Limited (PTML) command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) on Tuesday, declared that the command generated over N150 billion between November 11, 2024 and March 4, 2025 with the introduction of B’Odogwu revenue platform by the Service.
Speaking with journalists in his office, the Customs Area Controller of the command, Comptroller Tenny Mankini Daniyan announced that the platform had helped the Service to generate the sum after exiting NICIS administered by Web Fontaine.
He disclosed that the wisdom of the Comptroller General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi birthed the laudable project which he said would soon be implemented in other commands
According to him, aside the initial challenges experienced at the pilot stage, the platform has been running smoothly even as it generates more revenue for the government
He added that the platform also afforded the trading public the opportunity to maximise their business potential at the command
He lauded the Comptroller General for the introduction of B’Odogwu which is being deployed at the commands in phases, saying since he assumed office, he has been innovative, churning out projects for the welfare of the trading public, facilitating trade and ensuring that traders get more money
“Since he came in, he has introduced projects like Time Release Study, Advanced Ruling, and they are all for the benefits of the trading public
“B’Odogwu is one of his legacy projects. It is called Unified Customs Management System (UCMS) which is to replace the existing NICIS.
“By Section 28 of the Nigeria Customs Service Act, it empowers Customs to initiate a platform for revenue collection,” Comptroller Daniyan said.
