\n\nThe Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has announced a deeper partnership with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) aimed at improving trade across Africa.
According to officials, the collaboration will focus on developing one-stop border posts, improving customs cooperation and supporting the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The initiative is expected to reduce delays at border crossings, simplify customs procedures and encourage greater movement of goods between African countries.
Experts say strengthening regional trade could create new opportunities for Nigerian businesses, increase exports and support economic diversification beyond oil.
The renewed partnership reflects Nigeria’s commitment to expanding intra-African commerce and positioning itself as a key player in the continent’s growing trade network.
