The moves by the Federal Government to smoothen its trade facilitation operations got a boost as the Federal Inland Revenue Service FIRS and the Nigeria Customs Service NCS have stepped up collaboration on the National Single Window NSW project.
The NSE is a landmark trade facilitation initiative expected to transform Nigeria's import and export processes, improve revenue collection, and enhance the country's competitiveness in global trade.
At a high-level meeting held at the NCS Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, top officials from both agencies reviewed ongoing preparations for the project's implementation and agreed on practical steps to accelerate system integration ahead of its planned take-off in the first quarter of 2026.
