The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), in collaboration with Trade Modernization Project Limited (TMP), has announced the deployment of a new Information Communication Technology (ICT) system aimed at boosting operational efficiency and aligning with global customs standards.
Speaking at the Port Terminal Multiple Services Limited (PTML) in Lagos, the Comptroller General of Customs, Mr. Adewale Adeniyi, described the roll-out of the Unified Customs Management System, nicknamed “B’Odogwu,” as a significant step toward modernizing customs operations in Nigeria.
“I am delighted to be here for this on-the-spot assessment of the roll-out of ‘B’Odogwu’, our new Unified Customs Management System.
“It is indeed an important achievement and significant milestone in our journey towards modernizing Nigeria’s customs operations and aligning with global best practices.
“This exercise is firmly rooted in the policy thrust of the NCS Management upon my assumption of office which emphasizes the need to consolidate on previous gains while boldly embracing innovative solutions to long-standing challenges.
“This policy thrust is also aligned with the strategic objectives of the President Bola Tinubu led Administration to make NCS more effective and efficient for the benefit of Nigerians.
“The support for the actualisation of this has been midwifed by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy in the implementation of several initiatives, including today’s roll-out of B’Odogwu that epitomises NCS drive to adapt and adopt cutting-edge technology to enhance our customs processes and procedures,” Adeniyi stated.
