The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has recorded significant milestone with the pilot deployment of the Electronic Currency Declaration Form (e-CDF) at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
This was disclosed in a press statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer, Assistant Comptroller of Customs, Abdullahi Maiwaca
and made available to Aje Stream TV (ASTV), said the exercise is part of its ongoing digital transformation and modernisation initiatives aimed at strengthening border controls and enhancing transparency in financial disclosures.
The pilot exercise, which commenced on 9th April, 2025, was implemented without issues. It showcased the system’s effectiveness in digitally capturing both inbound and outbound currency declarations, offering a more secure, efficient, and accountable process for cross-border travellers.
According to the statement, during the pilot period, the e-CDF system recorded a total of 69 currency declaration transactions.
Outbound declarations accounted for fifty-one (51) transactions with a total declared value of One Million, Two Hundred Thousand, Two Hundred and Eighty-One Dollars and Twenty-Two Cents ($1,200,281.22).
Inbound declarations stood at eighteen (18) with a total declared value of One Hundred and Seventy-Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred and Eighty-Six Dollars and Eighty-Eight Cents ($177,786.88).
The e-CDF platform was developed to align with the best international practices in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) protocols.
It provides real-time data that supports intelligence gathering and inter-agency cooperation.
The NCS under the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, remains committed to leveraging technology to improve compliance, facilitate legitimate travel and trade, and ensure the integrity of Nigeria’s borders.
Following the success of this pilot phase, plans are underway to replicate the deployment of the e-CDF system at other international airports and border posts across the country.
