Abuja Gets New Inland Gateway for Imported Cargo

TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse, a division of Sirlyon Limited, recently inaugurated a customs-regulated bonded warehouse in Kuje, Abuja. The facility is set to serve as an inland gateway for imported goods heading towards the Federal Capital Territory and Northern Nigeria. Bilal Ajijola, the CEO of TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse, expressed their aspiration to evolve beyond merely being a warehouse.

Ajijola stated, "We aspire for TRÏNŪ to become a critical inland gateway for trade into Abuja and Northern Nigeria, linking businesses to global markets while enhancing the efficiency, security, and accessibility of goods movement." This development provides importers, exporters, freight forwarders, and clearing agents with an alternative to managing Abuja-bound cargo solely through the seaports and logistics centers in Lagos and other major urban centers.

Cargo can now be stored, processed, and cleared within Abuja, which is closer to the businesses and markets it serves. Ajijola elaborated on the reasoning behind this project, saying, "TRÏNŪ was established based on a simple observation: businesses should not have to repeatedly transport their cargo back and forth to its ultimate destination."

By creating a secure, customs-regulated facility in Abuja, the company aims to bring more of the logistics process closer to where the goods are actually required.
