President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the development of Electronic Based Customs known as E-Customs for the Nigeria Customs Service.
The Comptroller General of Customs, Colonel Hameed Ali, retired, disclosed this at the graduation of Senior Course 3 of Nigeria Customs Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada, Abuja.
Ali said the deployment of technology would go a long way in enhancing the activities of the service.
