Unit Abuja on the 28th of May 2018.
With the introduction of this NICIS 11 platform at the MMA
Command, the Customs Area Controller, Mrs Jayne Shoboiki, enjoined stakeholders
in the Command to cooperate with the Nigeria Customs Service as the upgraded
platform would improve the clearance processes and facilitate regional trade
using Nigeria as a hub for goods in transit to other countries.
Mrs Shoboiki noted with concern the teething problems
stakeholders were faced with at the initial stage, and implored them to bear
with the system as the technical team unit from Abuja and Webb Fontaine were
still around to resolve all the initial problems and put stakeholders through.

Remarkably, the NICIS
11 is an upgraded version of NICIS that
is made up of the ASYCUDA++ processing and risk management system. Those
incorporated into the NICIS system include modules for E-Manifest, E-payment, an
electronic form ‘M’, Risk Assessment Reports (RARs) now Pre Arrival Access
Report (PAAR) and Passenger Baggage Entry Declaration.

One of the huge benefits of NICIS is its ability to interface
with other Government Agencies and Private Stakeholders who are still working
toward upgrading their systems in ways conducive to eventual creation of fully
integrated e-trade platform.

NICIS 11 has the capacity of streamlining
clearance by introducing a Trade Portal Manager (TPM) used by Traders to
capture declaration from any point with their Phones, Ipads, and Laptops etc and an automatic triggering of release after payment.
