On Friday, the Nigeria Customs Service announced that it would reveal its enhanced e-auction platform on Tuesday. Abdullahi Maiwada, the National Public Relations Officer, stated that this initiative aligns with the commitment to continually enhance the service, following the guidelines of the newly enacted NCS Act, 2023.
The revamped platform, an upgraded version of the previous one, aims to ensure efficiency and fairness, providing equal opportunities for Nigerians to participate, according to Maiwada.
“Since its re-launch, the platform has recorded impressive results, including. 1137 number of bids, 1099 registered applicants, 652 successfully paid administration fee, 100 vehicles uploaded on the window, 86 vehicles bided and won,” he added.
The spokesperson for NCS stressed the importance of successful bidders promptly downloading their winning certificates using the link provided in the confirmation email.
“Subsequently, winners are required to present the certificate where the goods were domiciled, and the clearance process is expected to be done within seven days. It is also pertinent to note that the auctions are periodic and open every Tuesday from 12 noon to 6 pm, providing the public with regular opportunities to select and bid for desired items,” he said.
He clarified that those interested in comprehensive details and guidelines on the e-auction process were encouraged to visit the NCS website.
“While we acknowledge occasional glitches reported by participants, potentially attributed to high traffic, our dedicated technical team is actively addressing the situation.
“We assure the public that initial issues will be swiftly resolved to ensure a seamless experience in all subsequent exercises,” the spokesperson said.
