The Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adeniyi, has said that artificial intelligence and other disruptive technologies are reshaping Customs operations and revenue systems, improving efficiency, transparency and institutional accountability.
In a statement issued on Monday by the spokesperson of the Kwara Area Command of the Service, SM Suleiman, the Customs boss made the remarks last Tuesday while delivering a keynote address at the 4th Biennial International Conference of the Faculty of Communication and Information Sciences, University of Ilorin, in collaboration with the Faculty of Philology, RUDN University, Russia.
The conference, themed “Disruptive Technology: Human and Artificial Intelligence in the Digital Economy,” brought together scholars, policymakers, technocrats and international academics to examine the impact of emerging technologies on governance, trade systems and institutional development.
Speaking at the event, Adeniyi said artificial intelligence was already transforming how Customs administrations process trade information and make operational decisions.
