Nigeria is set to launch its National Single Window (NSW) digital trade platform on March 27, aiming to transform the country’s trade ecosystem.
The platform will integrate all agencies and players involved in import and export processes, streamlining trade procedures and enhancing competitiveness.
Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila described the launch as a “monumental” step, while NSW Coordinator Tola Fakolade urged agencies to intensify support in the final 23 days.
The platform’s first phase will enable online processing of import permits, electronic submission of cargo manifests, and introduce a centralized risk management system.
The initiative, launched by President Bola Tinubu nearly two years ago, is expected to improve efficiency, reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks, and enhance transparency in trade operations.
Nationwide user training is ongoing, and pilot testing will soon commence to ensure a smooth rollout.
