The Federal Government has activated B’Odogwu, a homegrown digital platform designed to simplify and modernise trade and customs operations in Nigeria, as part of reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
B’Odogwu, officially known as the Unified Customs Management System, was developed by the Nigeria Customs Service to streamline customs procedures, enhance transparency, and strengthen revenue generation across the country’s trade ecosystem.
The Federal Government of Nigeria said the platform is central to ongoing efforts to modernise trade administration as Nigeria’s economy gains momentum.
According to Customs, B’Odogwu integrates multiple customs and trade processes into a single digital platform, enabling importers, exporters, customs agents and other stakeholders to process documentation, submit declarations, and track transactions in real time.
The system is designed to reduce paperwork, minimise human interface, cut processing time at ports and border posts, and improve compliance with customs regulations.
Officials noted that the platform will also boost revenue assurance by automating assessments, improving data accuracy and strengthening oversight across trade operations.
Stakeholders in the trade and logistics sector have been urged to begin onboarding on the platform to enjoy seamless customs clearance and improved ease of doing business.
To apply and start using the B’Odogwu platform, interested users are advised to visit the official portal via the application link:
