Customs to reopen e-auction portal next week 

Customs’ monthly revenue rises to N343bn

 

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) said its e-auction website, which was first launched in July 2017 under the tenure of its former Comptroller General, Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), will be reopened next week.

The current Comptroller General of Customs, Adewale Adeniyi stated this on Wednesday in Abuja at a press conference on the service’s 2023 performance.

“In the upcoming week, the NCS is set to inaugurate an electronic auction (e-auction) platform, strategically designed to enhance transparency in the auction process. These collective actions signify NCS’s dedication to enhancing staff welfare and sustaining optimal performance,” he said.

In July 2017 when the e-auction portal was first opened, the NCS said it generated N49 million and recorded 254 winners of various auctions in four weeks across the country.
