The E-CDF was part of the service’s continued efforts to drive digital transformation and modernise operations to bolster border security and improve transparency in financial disclosures.

The E-CDF, which began operation on April 9, 2025, is part of Customs’ digital transformation drive to strengthen border controls and improve transparency in financial disclosures. The system allows travellers to digitally declare cash amounts above the $10,000 threshold, in line with anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism regulations.

During the pilot phase in Abuja, Customs recorded a total of 69 currency declaration transactions, with outbound travellers declaring $1,200,281.22 and inbound travellers declaring $177,786.88-a combined total of nearly $1.38 million.

According to the service’s spokesman, Abdullahi Maiwada, the pilot exercise, which commenced on 9th April 2025, was implemented without issues.

He added that the deployment showcased the system’s effectiveness in digitally capturing both inbound and outbound currency declarations, offering a more secure, efficient, and accountable process for cross-border travellers.

He explained that during the pilot phase, the e-CDF system recorded a total of 69 currency declaration transactions. Of these, outbound declarations made up 51 per cent of the transactions, with a total declared value of $1,200,281.22, while inbound declarations accounted for 18 per cent, totalling $177,786.88.

He said: “The e-CDF platform was developed to align with the best international practices in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) protocols. It provides real-time data that supports intelligence gathering and inter-agency cooperation.

“The NCS leadership remains committed to leveraging technology to improve compliance, facilitate legitimate travel and trade, and ensure the integrity of Nigeria’s borders.

“Following the success of this pilot phase, plans are underway to replicate the deployment of the e-CDF system at other international airports and border posts across the country.”
