The Commission’s Director-General, Dr. Jobson Oseodion Ewalefoh, stated this in Abuja on Tuesday while reacting to the signing of a 20-year concession agreement for the AfCFTA Customs Modernisation Project. According to the ICRC, the continental project adopted Nigeria’s Customs Modernisation Project as its model after the Nigerian solution demonstrated its capacity to improve customs administration through technology. The system has become a key part of the digital transformation of Nigeria’s Customs operations. “For Nigerian Customs to open up, modernize, and leverage private-sector expertise and capital deserves recognition.” Ewalefoh said the Customs Modernisation Project demonstrated that PPPs could help government deliver infrastructure and services without placing the entire financial burden on public resources.
