TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse, a subsidiary of Sirlyon Limited, has launched a customs-controlled bonded warehouse in Kuje, Abuja, Nigeria. This facility offers importers and their agents a secure and compliant environment to store and clear cargo outside of the seaports. The warehouse is equipped with various services, including on-site office accommodation for Customs and other regulatory agencies.
The bonded warehouse features weighbridge services, customs documentation and clearance support, container and general cargo storage, and cargo handling and consolidation. The on-site offices for regulators enable customs processes to take place where the cargo is stored, streamlining the clearance process. This setup aims to reduce the need for businesses to transport cargo to different locations for processing.
According to Bilal Ajijola, CEO of TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse, the facility was built to address the challenges of cargo storage and clearance. "TRÏNŪ was built around a simple observation: businesses shouldn’t have to keep moving back and forth to where their cargo isn’t ultimately going," he said. The goal is to bring the cargo clearance process closer to the destination.
The launch of TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse coincides with the Nigeria Customs Service's strengthened oversight of cargo in transit and under bond. The warehouse has a capacity for approximately 700 containers and is designed to serve importers, exporters, freight forwarders, and clearing agents handling Abuja-bound cargo. This facility is expected to play a crucial role in facilitating trade in the region.
Ajijola emphasized that TRÏNŪ's ambition extends beyond providing warehousing services. "Our ambition is to build more than a warehouse," he added. "We want TRÏNŪ to become an important inland gateway for trade into Abuja and Northern Nigeria, connecting businesses to global markets while making the movement of goods more efficient, secure and accessible."
