The Badagry Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (BACCIMA) was represented at the National Single Window (NSW) Stakeholder Engagement held on Tuesday, 10 November 2026, at the Sheraton Hotel, Lagos.
The Chamber was represented by its First Deputy President, Mrs. Ngozi Ann Modebelu, and Finance Director, Engr. Tope Agboola, who joined other stakeholders across Nigeria’s business and trade ecosystem at the important engagement.
The programme provided an avenue for stakeholders to gain deeper insights into the Federal Government’s National Single Window initiative, its implementation progress, emerging opportunities and its anticipated impact on Nigeria’s international trade and business environment.
The National Single Window is a Federal Government initiative designed to simplify and modernise trade processes by providing a centralised electronic platform through which importers, exporters and other relevant stakeholders can submit trade-related information and regulatory documentation through a single entry point.
Since commencing operations on 27 March 2026, the platform has recorded significant milestones. According to its October 2026 performance report, it had processed 169,211 licences, permits and other regulatory documents, registered 12,465 importers and agents, onboarded 27 airlines and integrated 56 shipping lines.
The initiative is expected to reduce repetitive documentation, minimise administrative bottlenecks, improve transparency, strengthen inter-agency collaboration and enhance the efficiency of import and export transactions across the country.
The engagement also comes at a significant period in the project’s implementation, as the National Single Window prepares for its second phase, which is expected to expand its coverage to export licences, permits and certificates, export documentation, Free Trade Zone processes and other trade-related services.
For BACCIMA, participation in programmes of this nature reinforces the Chamber’s commitment to keeping its members informed, strengthening institutional relationships and creating opportunities for businesses within Badagry Division to benefit from emerging national economic reforms.
The participation of the Chamber’s leadership in the engagement was impactful, providing an important opportunity to connect with developments shaping Nigeria’s trade and investment landscape.
BACCIMA recognises the importance of continuous stakeholder engagement, knowledge sharing and collaboration between government institutions and the organised private sector in building a more competitive and business-friendly economy.
The Chamber remains committed to promoting policies, partnerships and initiatives that will expand business opportunities, improve trade facilitation and advance inclusive economic growth across Badagry Division and beyond.
