Nigeria Customs Launches Electronic Cargo Tracking System

On Tuesday, the Port & Terminal Multiservices Limited (PTML) Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service conducted a sensitisation workshop for the deployment of the Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS). Deputy Comptroller Nura Miko announced that PTML is the second pilot command for the ECTS rollout, following its successful implementation at the Apapa Area Command.

This initiative is part of the Nigeria Customs Service's reform agenda under Comptroller-General Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, aimed at creating a technology-driven and efficient Customs Service. The ECTS will provide real-time cargo monitoring via GPS, eliminate diversion and leakage, and optimize manpower by reducing the need for physical escorts.

Stakeholders will benefit from faster clearance and delivery, lower costs, and enhanced transparency. Miko urged participants to embrace the changes and collaborate for a seamless implementation of the ECTS.
