“…1.1. The Nigerian Customs Services (NCS) NCS has continued to play a significant, critical and effective role in the transportation therein of goods as asset (in/out) the docks of the nation Nigeria [74]; And thus, has continued to shore up revenue generation within her borders [75] -all targeted at national development [76]. The nosedive trend in monetization from the oil sector, and world-order search for alternatives to fossil fuel [77]- [79], has shift emphasis toward the non-oil sector [80], with customs excise duties as the frontier alternative scheme to backup low-sales from crude oil [81]- [83].…”

As competitive market and globalization continue to ripple a range of issues across the asset chain (i.e. safety, quality, tracing, and overall management efficiency). Pandemics are bound to occur without warning and has revealed the unpreparedness of many nations. Thus, the Nigerian Government aiming to shore up revenue/monetization via customs exercise duties to augment the nosedive in revenue of the oil sector – must formulate policies and adapt technology to harness its inherent benefits therein. Study advances a sensor-based blockchain NiCuSBlockIoT, which will provision a decision-support scheme for cargo goods traceability and asset movement on a value-chain by first ensuring that accurate records of cargo goods are registered, tagged and reported using the sensor-based units. These are then broadcasted on to the NiCuSBlockIoT as record and/or blocks via a P2P chain on the network as a decentralized framework executed on a distributed hyper-ledger fabric via smart-contract transaction logic. Result show model eliminate fraud that often accompanies a centralized scheme via its sensor-layered model that reports all such errors as data on NiCuSBlockIoT supply value chain.

“…Nigeria's customs revenue grew as a result of a decrease in smuggling activities, providing the government with an opportunity to collect more import taxes and levies. However, the suspension of operations had negative impact on enterprises and job opportunities in border regions as a result of a decrease in income from lawful international commerce (Omale et al, 2020;Nwozor & Oshewolo, 2020;Abiodun, 2021;Idoniboye-Obu, 2022).…”

Nigeria’s border closure on rice importation has significant economic implications that require comprehensive analysis. Policymakers must consider both the short-term and long-term effects, as well as broader socioeconomic factors. Balancing economic considerations with employment, food security, and regional disparities is crucial for inclusive and sustainable development. By adopting a holistic approach, Nigeria can navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by the border closure, achieve self-sufficiency in rice production, and promote the well-being of its citizens. Gradually phasing out the border closure while enhancing the competitiveness of local rice producers through incentives and support will ensure market efficiency. Investing in agricultural research, extension services, and infrastructure development will improve productivity and quality. Strengthening border control mechanisms will prevent smuggling. To sustain regional economic partnerships, it is critical to collaborate with neighboring countries. Nigeria's border barrier for rice imports presents numerous obstacles and opportunities. Nigeria has the power to attain rice self-sufficiency and promote all-encompassing and sustainable development by implementing a comprehensive strategy that successfully balances economic considerations with broader social factors. This includes gradually phasing out the border closure while enhancing the competitiveness of local rice producers, investing in agricultural research and infrastructure development, strengthening border control mechanisms to prevent smuggling, and collaborating with neighboring countries to maintain regional trade relationships.
