<\/div>\n
The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) rolled out a groundbreaking digital One-Stop-Shop (OSS) platform on 13 February 2026 in Lagos, targeting a dramatic cut in cargo clearance times to 48 hours by consolidating risk checks into a unified electronic system.<\/div>\n
Comptroller-General Adewale Adeniyi hailed it as a cornerstone reform under President Bola Tinubu\u2019s business agenda, mirroring WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement standards that could trim developing economy trade costs by over 14%. He outlined a path to full paperless operations by Q2 2026 end, shifting from fragmented processes to data-led, collaborative governance.
\u201cThis moves us from discretion to data, isolated fixes to shared accountability,\u201d Adeniyi said, vowing support for lawful trade, revenue protection, and economic integrity.<\/div>\n

Deputy Comptroller-General for Tariff and Trade, Caroline Niagwan, detailed how OSS merges multiple interventions into one interface, addressing stakeholder pain points like redundant checks. A Trade Facilitation Unit demo projected slashing average 21-day dwells to 48 hours, tackling rollout hurdles head-on.
Stakeholders endorsed the move for boosting legit trade, with interactive sessions clarifying procedures. The platform promises faster ports, happier businesses, and Nigeria\u2019s edge in global competitiveness.<\/p>\n
