NCS enhances data handling capabilities with 3-day workshop (Pictures)

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has launched a three-day capacity-building workshop on data generation, analytics, and storage at the Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College (NCCSC), Gwagwalada.

The workshop, which began on Monday, 13 May 2024, aims to enhance the service’s capabilities in modern customs operations through improved data handling.

Assistant Comptroller-General (ACG) Malanta Yusuf, representing the Comptroller-General of Customs (CGC), Adewale Adeniyi, emphasized the critical role of data in strategic planning and operational efficiency.

He stressed that effective decision-making relies heavily on robust data generation and analytics, and historical data is essential for organisations like Customs, responsible for border management and trade facilitation.

The workshop is designed to equip officers with comprehensive knowledge in various aspects of data management, enabling them to understand smuggling networks, identify high-risk threats, and gather intelligence.

ACG Yusuf encouraged attendees to engage fully, noting that the training would enhance their ability to contribute to the overall success of the NCS.

He also highlighted the importance of innovative solutions and the integration of geospatial intelligence into current data analysis practices.

ACG Yusuf thanked CGC Adeniyi, the organisers, and the participants for their contributions to the session, hoping the training would serve as a catalyst for continuous learning and improvement within the NCS.
