The Nigerian International Maritime Ports and Terminals (NIMPORT) yesterday said that a single window system would increase port efficiency and reduce freight clearance bottlenecks.

The NIMPORT Chairman, Mr. Fortune Idu, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

Idu said there should be transparency among agencies whose portal would be integrated on the single window, as this would bring about the efficiency of information if offered in real-time.

He described a single window, which is a trade facilitation idea that enables international (cross-border) traders to submit regulatory documents at a single location and/or single entity as a portal for integrated administration of large enterprise that allows access to all the services the enterprise can offer through one channel.
