Customs Exposes Scam Over Form M Migration to B’Odogwu Platform

The attention of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has been drawn to widespread misconceptions suggesting that importers or their agents are required to make payments for the migration of their Form M from the Nigeria Integrated
Customs Information System (NICIS) II platform to the B’Odogwu Trade
Management System.

The NCS wishes to categorically state that this claim is false, misleading, and entirely unfounded.
For clarity, the ongoing migration process is a technical and administrative task designed and implemented by NCS to ensure seamless continuity of trade
documentation following the phased deployment of the B’Odogwu system across Customs Area Commands. It is worth noting that at no point has the NCS introduced, approved, or authorised any fee for migrating Form M from NICIS II to B’Odogwu.

Importers and agents whose Bills of Lading (BoL) or manifests have already been transmitted to B’Odogwu but whose Form M was originally registered on
NICIS II are required to submit a soft copy of their existing Form M to the Technical
Supervisor (TS) in their Command of operation. This submission will enable the
Service to carry out the necessary migration at no cost to the trader.

4. Upon successful migration, traders are expected to log into their dashboard on B’Odogwu and:
– Locate the already migrated “registered” Form M
– Click on it to view the full details
– Use the “Create PAAR” button that will appear to proceed with PAAR
processing.
The Service urges all stakeholders to disregard any person or group demanding payment under the guise of facilitating Form M migration.

Such as practices are not only illegal but also undermine the Service’s commitment to
transparency and trade facilitation. Affected persons are advised to report such misconduct through official NCS channels.

Under the leadership of the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, MFR and his management team, the Service remains committed to
delivering a user-friendly, transparent, and efficient trade environment powered by
technology and integrity. We appreciate the cooperation of the trading public and
assure all stakeholders of our continuous support throughout this transition.
