The Port and Terminal Multiservices Ltd. (PTML) Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has urged stakeholders to embrace the Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS) to strengthen cargo security, facilitate trade and improve revenue assurance.
The Customs Area Controller of the command, Comptroller Nura Miko, made the call on Tuesday in Lagos at a stakeholders’ sensitization workshop on the deployment of the ECTS.
