Above is the Spectacular Revenue collection form under the watch of an erudite Customs Area Controller (CAC) at the helm of TinCan Island Area Command, who came with rare leadership campaign of Magic Wand touch to give the command a rousing profile, especially in its revenue collection mandate.

Comptroller Frank Okechukwu Onyeka, the present Customs Area Controller (CAC) of TinCan Island Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) seemed to have now assumed the position of a ‘Customs Revenue Mobilizer’, with the current development of never before imagined revenue collection being experienced at the second biggest revenue earning command of the service.

Revenue Collection development under his vivid watch has assumed another interesting dimension as the command keeps breaking own record in quick succession.

The recent attainment of yet another unmatched collection of N145Billion in the month of April, never before achieved in the history of the command, and making three in serially in the space of four months, has generated huge applaud from industry watchers who currently are adjusting their spectacles to observe happenings within the command with keen interest.

It would be recalled that, the command under the watch of Comptroller Frank Onyeka was celebrated when it recorded a spectacular N116billion revenue in January, 2025.

House of Reps laud achievements

Unknown to many that, it was just an icing on the cake, the hardworking CAC also sparked off surprises when it disclosed yet another record breaking collection of over N128billion in the month of March, 2025.

Undone yet, the sparkling collection of over N145billion by the Onyeka led command in April, 2025 as garnered when TransQuest team paid him a visit was really a soothing relief for the CAC who pointed that we are yet to see anything. He said that his led management team is not done yet in springing up revenue collection surprises.

He noted that, it was the reason they (officers) are there to do the job, to discover and plug all revenue loopholes, collect all collectable and genuine duty payments without compromise.

He also promised that more of such monthly record breaking revenue collection are on their way, as he urge all to watch out.

The visiting TransQuest crew however finds the leadership posture exhibited by Comptroller Frank Onyeka very interesting while the visit lasted, as they watched the CAC with keen interest freely fraternised with his officers, and some stakeholders.

Oftentimes, he was always seen on the move to offices of some of his subordinates to get somethings done, rather than subjecting them to come to him.

Some officers and stakeholders we interacted with unanimously agreed that the CAC is a jolly good fellow. They said he is not the Bossy type, as he interacted easily with all in his path, but he forbids taken an undue advantage of such moves. “His frankness when it comes to the job is non-negotiable and he as well detest corner cutting and does not joke with the collection of appropriate duty payment,” some said.
