The modernization of the agency, implementation of the National Single Window Project, and execution of Nigeria's obligations under the AfCFTA protocol will likely enhance trade facilitation, increase revenue generation, and improve border security.
The extension of Mr. Adeniyi's tenure is a significant development that underscores the importance of effective leadership and institutional continuity in driving reforms and achieving strategic objectives.
