Customs begins digital currency declaration at Abuja airport

The Nigeria Customs Service has completed a pilot deployment of its Electronic Currency Declaration Form (e-CDF) at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja.

The system, launched on April 9, allows cross-border travellers to declare inbound and outbound cash digitally, and is part of the agency’s broader effort to tighten border controls and improve transparency.

According to the Customs Service, the pilot ran without issues and recorded 69 total transactions. Outbound travellers made 51 declarations totalling $1,200,281.22, while 18 inbound declarations accounted for $177,786.88.

The e-CDF platform, Customs said, aligns with international best practices for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. “It provides real-time data that supports intelligence gathering and inter-agency cooperation,” the agency noted.

Bashir Adeniyi, the Comptroller-General of Customs, said the Service remains committed to “leveraging technology to improve compliance, facilitate legitimate travel and trade, and ensure the integrity of Nigeria’s borders.”

Following the Abuja test run, Customs plans to expand the e-CDF deployment to other international airports and border posts nationwide.

You are just a finished boy already thinking about 400k your parent saved for you,I'll advice you to get a life,400k is 270$ and it's not useful,only if you want to sell pure water in the traffic.
This policy doesn't make sense.

Are this people so clueless. Digital currency is just there. It has nothing to do with travelling via airport. So what exactly is their business with declaration. Why are they not saying we should also be opening our bank apps

Not parents, saved through hardwork.

With all due respect, how much were you able to save when you were 20 years old, legally?

Let me see if more hardwork needs to be put in.
