National single window project to boost export, create jobs in Nigeria — Trade Minister

Published by

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, has disclosed that the National Single Window (NSW) project in Nigeria will boost the country’s export and create many job opportunities.

Speaking in Lagos, the Minister said the establishment of the NSW system for trade processes in Nigeria is not merely a policy objective; “it is a transformative reform that will fundamentally redefine the way trade is conducted across our borders.

“Our single window project will provide a centralised digital platform for traders to submit, process, and access trade-related documentation – eliminating corruption through improved transparency, reducing administrative burdens, and significantly enhancing the ease of doing business in Nigeria.”

Oduwole noted that the National Single Window system would enable Nigerian businesses to compete more effectively in global markets.

“Driving job creation in export-oriented sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, technology and strengthening Nigeria’s position as a regional trade hub under AfCFTA.

“Exports not only contribute to Nigeria’s GDP but also provide the foreign exchange needed to stabilise our economy and foster sustainable development.”

The Minister explained that for businesses, “the NSW offers streamlined processes: a single entry point for submitting regulatory documents such as customs declarations and export permits.”

Oduwole stated that the NSW also offers enhanced transparency through centralised processes, minimising opportunities for corruption and providing predictable procedures for traders.

She said the cost of businesses’ administrative expenses is saved while avoiding delays that result in demurrage or storage fees.
