We will always ask for more to enhance revenue and operational efficiency to support Nigeria\u2019s economy and serve its people,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting also reviewed modernization initiatives, including the expansion of the B\u2019Odogwu Unified Customs Management System, the implementation of the Authorised Economic Operators (AEO) programme, and strengthened anti-smuggling measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These efforts aim to enhance trade facilitation and bolster national security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, has praised the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) for
