The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has thrown its weight behind Nigeria’s Single Window Trade Project—an initiative aimed at streamlining trade, boosting revenue, and driving economic growth.
The endorsement came during a meeting in Abuja between Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and an IMF Fiscal Affairs Department delegation led by Marco Antonio, Technical Assistance Advisor for Revenue Administration.
According to a statement by the ministry’s Director of Information, Mohammed Manga, Antonio commended the project alongside other ongoing reforms.
Edun noted that the initiative is already in motion, with necessary approvals secured, a dedicated team established, and a structured implementation strategy in place. He emphasized its potential to boost exports, particularly as Nigeria works toward maximizing daily oil output.
Describing it as a game-changing reform, Edun reaffirmed the government’s commitment to its success, crediting President Tinubu’s leadership and the backing of the Nigeria Customs Service as critical to its progress.
