Nigeria's Digital Export Platform Launch Set for December 14

The Federal Government is set to launch a digital export platform on December 14, 2026, as part of the second phase of the National Single Window project. Tola Fakolade, the Director of the National Single Window Project, announced this during the Phase Two National Single Window Sensitisation Programme in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The new platform aims to simplify export documentation and permit processing by providing a single digital point for exporters to submit documents and obtain approvals from regulatory agencies. The first phase of the project focused on licenses and permits and achieved significant success in enforcing compliance and preventing revenue leakages.

The second phase will be implemented in two batches, with the first covering the issuance of export permits. The second batch will involve the Central Bank of Nigeria's processes and is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027.

Fakolade encouraged exporters to register and participate ahead of the launch.
