Nigeria will launch phase 2 of the National Single Window on 14 December, a digital platform designed to simplify export procedures and reduce transaction costs. Non-oil export earnings reached $6.1 billion in 2025, up 11.5% from $5.46 billion in 2024, according to Nigerian Export Promotion Council director Nonye Ayeni.

Nigeria will launch phase 2 of its National Single Window (NSW) on 14 December, a digital platform designed to centralise documents, permits and authorisations related to foreign trade. The system is intended to simplify export procedures, reduce transaction costs and limit delays, according to Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) director general Nonye Ayeni, quoted by ThisDay.

Nigeria’s non-oil exports generated $6.1 billion in 2025, up 11.5% year on year from $5.46 billion in 2024. Export volumes rose 10% to 8.02 million tonnes, covering 281 products sold in 120 countries, Nonye Ayeni said.

The NEPC has begun integrating its export services into the platform, including exporter certificate registration. The council is also preparing operators to jointly use the NSW with the Trade Monitoring System, NXP and NCX forms and applicable registration, permit and certification procedures, according to Nonye Ayeni.
