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.
