From 2011, the @CustomsNG
engaged an international consultant to do a feasibility study on #SingleWindow and we have been waiting for the government to implement a #NationalSingleWindow.

If agencies can make the government know the importance of #SingleWindow, Nigeria will have a smoother implementation of the #SingleWindow policy.
