The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has stated that implementing the National Single Window project will significantly transform trade facilitation in Nigeria and reinforce the stabilisation of the economy.
This was contained in a statement on Wednesday by the National Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Customs Service, Abdullahi Maiwada. According to Maiwada, Edun disclosed this while addressing journalists shortly after the 63rd quarterly meeting of the Nigeria Customs Service Board.
Recall that the National Single Window initiative was formed by President Bola Tinubu’s administration to unify all trade-related government agencies on a single digital platform, harmonise clearance processes, reduce bureaucracy, and promote Nigeria’s competitiveness in global commerce.
Edun explained that the initiative, scheduled for rollout in the first quarter of 2026, will integrate digital automation and enhance efficiency in import and export processes.
“The National Single Window is a legacy project of President Tinubu. It will revolutionise trade by reducing bottlenecks, cutting costs, and speeding up cargo clearance. This combination of digital automation and efficiency will significantly boost our economy,” Edun said.
