Designed to streamline import and export processes, the initiative will cut delays, reduce costs, and boost competitiveness, creating a stronger, more efficient business environment for the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>*The National Single Window will give Customs the speed and capacity to process trade more effectively, boosting revenue and positioning Nigeria as a more attractive hub for investment,* he said.<\/p>\n<p>The board also confirmed governance improvements within the Service, including senior appointments and promotions, to uphold professional standards and strengthen institutional capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The Honourable Minister concluded that these measures reflect President Bola Tinubu\u2019s wider strategy: stabilising inflation and exchange rates while building a transparent, technology-driven trade ecosystem that encourages private investment and drives growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FG Reaffirms Commitment to Modernising Trade Systems as Customs Revenue hits \u20a63.7 Trillion The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun has reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to modernising trade systems and boosting revenue as Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) performance continues to exceed expectations.
