Nigerian Shippers’ Council Discusses National Single Window Project

A recent meeting between the Nigerian Shippers’ Council and the business process analysis team for the National Single Window project was held at the Council’s boardroom, recently. The meeting focused on the integration of the Single Window system, a significant project designed to streamline trade processes and enhance efficiency within Nigeria’s Maritime sector.
Speaking at the event, the Nigerian Shippers’ Council Executive Secretary, Barr. Akutah, MON, who was represented by the Director of Human Resources, Mrs. Adaku Okam, stressed the importance of the Single Window system. According to her, the initiative would not only simplify operations but also promote transparency and curb illegal demands at seaports, terminals, and other trade points. She further noted that the project aligns with the Council’s mandate, reducing delays and bottlenecks while increasing competitiveness and driving digital transformation in the sector.
Senior Consultant, NSW Business Process Analysis Committee, Ayokunle Osanyon present at the meeting explained that the National Single Window is a transformative initiative that seeks to consolidate trade-related information and procedures, addressing critical issues such as duplicated documentation and revenue losses.
The project has been structured into three major parts: a Steering Committee to provide strategic direction, a Project Management Office to oversee timely execution, and a Project Secretariat to manage day-to-day activities. The initiative promises to reduce costs and time, simplify documentation, and eliminate redundant procedures. Additionally, the project aims to review and enhance existing trade processes, assess risks, and design standard operating procedures.
In her closing remarks, Mrs.Okam called on consultants to demonstrate patriotism, accountability, and responsibility, urging them to ensure that the project’s timeline is adhered to.
