As the CGC l marks his birthday anniversary, the CCC reaffirmed its confidence in his capacity to deepen and consolidate ongoing initiatives, particularly the implementation of trade facilitation instruments, the National Single Window programme, and the centralisation of government revenue collection processes. It described these reforms as critical to achieving procedural efficiency, transparency, inter agency harmonisation, and data driven governance.
The committee also emphasized the importance of sustained policy actions by the Nigeria Customs Service aimed at reducing transactional and compliance costs associated with international trade, noting that such efforts are vital to improving national competitiveness, trade predictability, and the ease of doing business.
