Anti-Corruption Group Hosts Seminar to Safeguard Nigeria’s National Single Window The Media Anti-Corruption Initiatives (MACI), in partnership with Hynek Media, will host a landmark one-day seminar aimed at strengthening the Federal Government’s flagship trade facilitation project, the National Single Window (NSW). The event is cheduled for Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at Rockview Hotel, Apapa GRA, Lagos, the seminar will carry the theme “National Single Window: Strategies to Avert Failure” and will convene policymakers, regulators, private sector leaders, and civil society actors to develop tamper-proof strategies for the project’s effective implementation. The NSW will seek to centralize import, export, and transit documentation, streamline processes, reduce duplication, and enhance transparency.
