The Nigeria Customs Service announced that it will organise a workshop on trade facilitation in collaboration with the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines, and Agriculture.
In a statement issued on Thursday, it was stated that Adewale Adeniyi, the acting comptroller general of customs, revealed this while hosting a delegation from NACCIMA in Abuja under the leadership of Dele Oye, the organization’s president.
Adeniyi added that by working together, trade facilitation will be successful, and trade in the nation will have a better future.
In order to organise a sensitization workshop for the two parties, the Service will work with NACCIMA, he said.
The acting CGC was earlier congratulated on his appointment by NACCIMA President Oye.
He also praised his outstanding efforts to raise the NCS and his significant strategy for controlling the nation’s trade industries.
