Get Guardian on GoogleThe Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Shippers’ Council (NSC), Dr. Akutah Pius, has expressed confidence that the National Single Window (NSW), once operational, will significantly improve transparency within Nigeria’s port system.
Akutah said the initiative is expected to address longstanding operational challenges arising from the fragmented activities of multiple government agencies currently working in silos.
According to him, the NSW will foster synergy and coordinated collaboration by streamlining port processes into a unified digital system.
He made this known during a meeting organised by the House of Representatives Committee on Shipping Services and Related Matters, chaired by Abdussamad Dasuki.
The NSC boss emphasised that the Council’s role as the nation’s Port Economic Regulator has already contributed substantially to restoring order and improving operational standards within the maritime sector.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Committee, Dasuki called for expanded stakeholder engagement to ensure inclusiveness.
