The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has denied claims that importers or clearing agents are required to pay fees to migrate their Form M from the Nigeria Integrated Customs Information System (NICIS) II to the newly introduced B’Odogwu Trade Management System.
The clarification was made in a statement issued on 11th July 2025 by Assistant Comptroller Abdullahi Maiwada, the National Public Relations Officer, on behalf of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR.
Maiwada explained that the migration process is part of a phased technical transition initiated by the Service to ensure the continuity of trade documentation as the B’Odogwu platform is deployed across Customs Area Commands.
