In a landmark move to boost Nigeria’s trade and economic growth, the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun launched the National Single Window (NSW) Project Kickoff Workshop in Abuja.
In his opening address at the event, the Honourable Minister underscored the transformative potential of the NSW in enhancing Nigeria’s trade facilitation and driving economic growth.
He informed that the initiative is a key pillar in the federal government’s strategy to improve trade and customs processes, reduce bottlenecks, and increase transparency within the nation’s trade environment.
To ensure the effective implementation and financial management of the project, HM Edun informed further that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), led by its Executive Chairman, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, and the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) have been designated as the project’s implementing agencies.
The project secretariat, he added, will be housed within the FIRS, providing a central hub for coordination and oversight.
