The Federal Government has vowed to block revenue leakages, strengthen regulatory compliance and eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks in Nigeria’s export sector through the second phase of the National Single Window project. The project is scheduled to go live on 14 December, 2026.
Director of the National Single Window Project, Tola Fakolade, stated this during the Phase Two National Single Window Sensitisation Programme held Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Thursday.
According to Mr. Fakolade, the platform would simplify export documentation and permit processing by providing a single digital point through which exporters could submit documents and obtain approvals from relevant regulatory agencies.
He explained that the first phase of the project, which focused on the submission of licences and permits, had recorded significant successes, particularly in enforcing compliance and preventing revenue leakages.
Fakolade noted that feedback from participating agencies shows that the platform’s compliance mechanisms had helped ensure that users adhered to regulatory requirements. He said feedback from agencies involved in the first phase showed that enforcing compliance through the platform had compelled users to adhere to the required procedures.
