Represented by the Deputy Comptroller-General in charge of Tariff and Trade, DCG Abdullahi Musa, CGC Adeniyi welcomed WCO Experts visiting Nigeria to enhance officers’ expertise in trade facilitation and enable their participation in the Africa Continental Free Trade Area.

DCG Musa stated, “On behalf of the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, you are welcome to the opening session of the national workshop on the Rules of Origin, jointly sponsored by the Global Alliance for Trade Facilitation, GIZ, and WCO Rules of Origin for Afri.”.

He stressed the CGC’s commitment to collaborate with development partners for capacity building, emphasizing the importance of the workshop in strengthening the Nigeria Customs Service.
