Modernisation Mission: Customs CG tours Huawei HQ, Lantan Port (Pictures)

On Thursday, 9 May 2024, Adewale Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs (CGC), took his team to Huawei’s Headquarters in Shenzhen, China, to talk about the Nigeria Customs Service Trade Modernisation Project’s opportunities.

He visited Huawei Headquarters as part of his official trip to China for the 6th Global AEO Conference in Shenzhen from Wednesday, 8 May to Friday, 10 May 2024.

CGC Adeniyi expressed his team’s purpose for visiting the company’s office as being to partner with Global Leader Technology Services for Trade Modernisations.

During the Huawei Connect 2023 event in Shanghai in October 2023, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) announced plans to implement some of the company’s newest products in its trade modernisation initiative.

The CGC asked Huawei’s company leaders to continue providing digitalisation services to NCS, and also requested their assistance in working with the Nigeria Customs Service to ensure the company’s transformative progress is maintained.

Xujing Xu, the Vice President of Smart Transportation at Huawei Company, expressed his gratitude for the visit of the NCS delegation, led by CGC Adewale Adeniyi, and the Management Team of Trade Modernisation Project (TMP) Limited, led by Chairman Saleh Ahmadu.

He stated his belief that working together will be advantageous for everyone involved, emphasizing that the groundwork for this change is already in progress.

During his speech, Saleh Ahmadu, the Chairman of TMP, states that Huawei is meeting expectations in fulfilling its role with Trade Modernisation Project Limited. He was grateful for the support he received.

In a related development, a training program on Trends and Digital Solutions for Customs officials and the Trade Modernisation Project (TMP) team was organised by Huawei on Thursday, May 9, 2024, which focused on equipping officials with the necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape of modern trade.

Furthermore, the entourage of the Comptroller-General of Customs and the TMP Chairman received another training on Business Management with the theme “The Journey of Huawei’s Continuous Growth”.

The training, according to the facilitator, was aimed at paving ways for NCS to enhance the capacity of officials to manage trade facilitation in Nigeria.
