As the NCS resumes 24-hour cargo clearance operations, customs licensed clearing and freight forwarding agents in Nigeria, and other stakeholders in the import and export industry are urged to take advantage of this development to enhance their operations and provide better services to their clients.
The resumption of 24-hour cargo clearance operations is a significant step towards achieving the NCS’s goal of becoming a world-class customs administration.
