Customs Relaunches E-Auction Platform

The Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) has upgraded its electronic auction (e-auction) platform to align with its commitment to continually enhance its services, the National Public Relations Officer of the service, Abdullahi Maiwada, said in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Comptroller of Customs Adewale Adeniyi had disclosed on January 10, 2024, that the service concluded arrangements to revamp the platform to enhance transparency in its auction processes.

According to him, the move would facilitate more robust operations, prevent infiltration by hackers, and ensure efficient services.

Maiwada, in the statement announcing the upgrade, said: “In pursuit of its commitment to continuous improvement, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) unveils its revamped e-auction platform on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.

“This strategic move aligns with the guidelines outlined in the newly enacted Nigeria Customs Service Act, 2023, showcasing the agency’s dedication to efficiency and fairness.

“The new platform, accessible at auction.nigeriatradehub.gov.ng, is an upgraded version of the previous portal designed to provide Nigerians with an equal opportunity to participate.”
