What type of technologies have you deployed to facilitate trade in Nigeria? We work exclusively with the Nigerian government and Nigerian Customs Service,
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Customs operations were not negatively impacted thanks to the integration of technology. We were both prepared and confident about how our technology would perform. We have used the latest artificial intelligence systems and networks available to automate Customs processes for several years. Our commitment to tech really paid off during the pandemic and proved its worth.
Customs to date has achieved more than 40 per cent over last year, which was already a record year. We expect another record in 2021 because of the use of advanced technology. Last year, when countries and businesses were locked down, Customs agents and those involved in trade were able to work easily from home and process everything via their computer.It is imperative to realize that Customs is not the only player at ports.
We offer port management system software that can track containers and we use GPS to easily locate, manage and plot the route of cargo. The port management system oversees the interaction between port authorities, Customs and terminal operators to make the logistics processes as smooth as possible. We are happy to implement this system given the opportunity, but we are not using it in Nigeria presently.
We want Africa to have at least one or two world class Research and Development Centres. This will not only benefit our work; it will also lead to a surge in demand for highly skilled staff and the hiring of as many programmers from Africa as possible. We will train, work and help them to develop the Customs industry across the entire continent, especially in regions covered the African Continental Free Trade Area . We would like the first of these centres to be in Nigeria.
