TRÏNŪ Bonded Warehouse says it has commissioned a Kuje facility to bring cargo storage and customs assistance closer to firms serving Abuja and Northern Nigeria.
The company estimates capacity at about 700 containers. Its listed services include warehousing and cargo handling, consolidation, weighbridge access, plus help with customs paperwork and clearance. TRÏNŪ’s announcement says imports can be transported from seaports to Kuje under bond. It also identifies TRÏNŪ as a subsidiary of Sirlyon Limited.
Bilal Ajijola, TRÏNŪ’s chief executive officer, told BusinessDay that port congestion, costly transport and slow deliveries complicate the journey from seaports to inland buyers. He said businesses in the region often rely on coastal operations. The intended customers he named include importers, traders, manufacturers, clearing agents and small and midsize businesses serving Abuja and the north. Ajijola described the company’s goal as making cargo movement “simpler, faster and more cost-effective.”
Ajijola said demand, the site’s operating capacity and any expansion would shape its annual trade volume. He sees potential for billions of naira in yearly trade as operations grow, but gave no specific amount or target date. The figure is a broad possibility rather than a target for a particular year.
The company also plans to provide live shipment updates and digitize inventory records and operational planning, Ajijola said. He presented those tools as future additions.
TRÏNŪ’s announcement describes the site as customs-controlled. The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) says bonded warehouses can hold imports under customs oversight while duties are unpaid or before the goods are re-exported. The NCS’s public information does not confirm a license for this specific Kuje facility, so its site-specific licensing status is unverified.
