By Anne Ejuka


In a bid to boost the current modernization efforts of the Nigeria Customs Service, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, last Thursday, 9 May 2024, led his team to the Headquarters of  Huawei, a famous information and communications technology company in Shenzhen, China, where he discussed opportunities embedded in  Nigeria Customs Service Trade Modernisation Project.

His visit to the  Huawei Headquarters was part of his official visit to the People's Republic of China for the 6th Global AEO Conference that took place in the city of Shenzhen between Wednesday, 8 May - Friday, 10 May 2024.


According to a statement from the Nationsl Public Relations Officer (NPRO) of the service, Chief Superintendent of Customs, Abdullahi Maiwada, the CGC while stating the purpose of the team's visit to the company's headquarters said, "We are also delighted to associate the Global Leader Technology Services through the Team of Trade Modernization."

It would be recalled that the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) had, during the Huawei Connect 2023 held in Shanghai in October 2023, expressed readiness to deploy some of the company's latest products for use in its trade modernisation project. 

The CGC, who urged Huawei’s company leadership to sustain their digitalisation services to NCS, also sought their support to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to maintain their transformative journey with the company.


On his part, Xujing Xu, the Huawei Company's Vice President of Smart Transportation, welcomed the delegation of the NCS led by CGC Adewale Adeniyi and the Management Team of the Trade Modernization Project (TMP) Limited, led by Chairman Saleh Ahmadu. 

He expressed confidence that their collaboration will benefit all parties involved, noting that "the foundational work for this transformation is already underway."

The TMP Chairman, Saleh Ahmadu, during his address, asserts that Huawei is living up to expectations to deliver its mandate under the auspices of Trade Modernization Project Limited. He appreciated the support accorded to him by the CGC and his management team towards the success of the NCS Trade Modernization Project.

Meanwhile, in his bid to upscale the level of NCS modernisation, the Comptroller-General of Customs, alongside members of the Trade Modernization Project led by Chairman Saleh Ahmadu, visited Lantan Port to witness the level of automation and technological solutions provided by Huawei and other tech partners. 


In a related development, a training program on Trends and Digital Solutions for Customs officials and the Trade Modernization Project (TMP) team was organised by Huawei on Thursday, May 9, 2024, which focused on equipping officials with the necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape of modern trade.

Furthermore, the entourage of the Comptroller-General of Customs and the TMP Chairman received another training on Business Management with the theme "The Journey of Huawei's Continuous Growth". 

The training, according to the facilitator, was aimed at paving ways for NCS to enhance the capacity of officials to manage trade facilitation in Nigeria.
