This move is expected to reduce bureaucratic bottlenecks, speed up cargo clearance, and enhance transparency across Nigeria\u2019s trade ecosystem.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a statement on Monday, the agency said, \u201cThis initiative is a transformative step in Nigeria\u2019s trade modernization agenda. NAFDAC remains committed to leveraging digital technologies and collaborative governance to strengthen regulatory oversight while facilitating legitimate trade.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the years, NAFDAC has made investments in digitising regulatory processes, including electronic platforms for product registration, permits, inspections, and import\/export clearances. These initiatives have laid the groundwork for seamless integration into the NSW framework.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In preparation for the launch, NAFDAC has undertaken several strategic measures. These include aligning its digital platforms with the NSW system to ensure smooth interoperability and data exchange, reviewing operational guidelines to reflect new process changes, and strengthening collaboration with other regulatory agencies involved in trade facilitation.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThrough this platform, traders will submit trade-related information once, and the data will be shared automatically with all relevant regulatory agencies for processing and approvals,\u201d NAFDAC said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Staff training and sensitisation programs have also been conducted to ensure effective adoption of the system, while regulatory documentation on the NAFDAC website has been updated to reflect the integration with the NSW. These efforts aim to minimise delays, eliminate duplication, and support Nigeria\u2019s drive to improve the ease of doing business.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Importers, exporters, manufacturers, and other stakeholders are being encouraged to familiarise themselves with the platform and adhere to updated procedures.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cNAFDAC encourages all stakeholders involved in the trade of regulated products to comply with updated regulatory procedures that will accompany the system\u2019s implementation,\u201d the agency stated.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Adaji The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has officially joined the Federal Government\u2019s effort to modernise trade in Nigeria with the launch of&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":116592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-126079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
