NSW Records Major Milestones, Holds Nationwide Stakeholder Engagement.
Under the leadership of its Project Director, Mr.
Tola Fakolade, the National Single Window has continued to advance its implementation objectives through institutional collaboration, stakeholder engagement, technological integration and the development of a unified digital trade platform.
Since commencing operations on March 27, 2026, the platform has processed 169,211 licences, permits and other regulatory documents, registered 12,465 importers and agents, and onboarded 27 airlines and 56 shipping lines, marking significant progress in the country’s transition towards a centralised and digitally enabled trade ecosystem.
These achievements were highlighted in the NSW Project’s performance report as the initiative embarked on a series of stakeholder engagement sessions across eight locations in Nigeria: Enugu, Akure, Jos, Ikeja, Badagry, Port Harcourt, Kano and Abuja. The engagements are designed to showcase the project’s progress, deepen stakeholder understanding and strengthen collaboration towards the successful implementation of subsequent phases. The stakeholder engagement programme brings together government representatives, regulatory agencies, private-sector operators and other participants in Nigeria’s import and export value chain to examine the project’s implementation, achievements and emerging opportunities. The National Single Window is a Federal Government initiative inaugurated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on April 16, 2024, to establish a centralised electronic platform through which importers, exporters and other trade stakeholders can submit standardised information and regulatory documents through a single-entry point.
