The federal Government has said the new set of scanning machines about to be deployed by the Nigeria Customs Service, NCS, across the nation’s ports and borders posts will put to an end to estimated N9.6 trillion annual revenue loss.
Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, said the scanners will help ease activities of the Customs and inspection agents as well as reduce delays that pose operational challenges at the ports.
Ahmed added that it will also enhance national security and aid trade facilitation in the country.
