In a major step towards strengthening cargo security and improving trade facilitation, the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has commissioned an Advanced Cargo Screening X-ray Machine at the Skyway Aviation Handling Company (SAHCO) PLC’s ultra-modern warehouse at the Hajj and Cargo Terminal.
The commissioning, led by Controller M.T. Awe, marks a strategic investment in technology designed to speed up cargo clearance, enhance transparency, and secure the nation’s supply chain.
Speaking at the event, Controller Awe noted that the deployment of the X-ray machine reflects Customs’ commitment to simplifying processes, promoting legitimate trade, and safeguarding national security.
“This facility is not just about technology, it is about efficiency, transparency, and building confidence in Nigeria’s cargo handling system,” he said.
The state-of-the-art equipment is expected to cut processing time, boost operational efficiency, and inspire greater trust among traders and stakeholders in the aviation cargo sector.
