ABUJA — The Comptroller-General of Customs, Mr Adewale Adeniyi, has attributed the transformation of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) to the deliberate deployment of technology across virtually every aspect of Customs administration.
Adeniyi spoke during a two-day retreat between the NCS and the Senate Committee on Customs and Excise in Abuja, aimed at strengthening legislative oversight and reviewing the Nigeria Customs Service Act.
In a statement issued by the Customs spokesman, Abdullahi Maiwada, Deputy Comptroller, on Sunday, the Comptroller-General said technology had enabled the Service to improve the speed and efficiency of its operations.
He said, “Technology helps us to work faster and more efficiently. We started by deploying digital solutions into personnel administration, postings, staff matters and pensions before extending them to our core operational responsibilities, and we will continue until virtually every aspect of Customs operations is technology-driven.”
