Speaking during the handover ceremony, Assistant Comptroller-General Frank Onyeka said the command surpassed its 2025 revenue target of N1.524 trillion, describing his tenure as one of the most rewarding periods of his career in the Customs Service.

He formally handed over to Comptroller Joe Anani, who previously served as Customs Area Controller at Ports and Terminal Multiservices Ltd.

• “This moment is both emotional and historic for me. Serving as the Customs Area Controller of this great command has been one of the greatest honours of my career,” Onyeka said.
