  "account": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has set December 14, 2026, as the target date for the second phase of the National Single Window project, which aims to streamline digital export permit processing and combat revenue leakages. The project's director, Tola Fakolade, announced the launch during a sensitization program in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The first phase of the project, which focused on license and permit submission, has already achieved significant success in enforcing compliance and preventing revenue losses. The second phase will be implemented in two batches, with the first batch commencing on December 14, 2026, and covering the issuance of export permits by relevant agencies. The second batch, scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, will cover the Central Bank of Nigeria's processes. Fakolade emphasized that the platform would simplify export documentation and permit processing by providing a single digital point for exporters to submit documents and obtain approvals. Deputy Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, Ndubueze Okeke, highlighted the importance of diversifying Nigeria's economy beyond crude oil revenue to ensure sustainable economic growth. He urged stakeholders to explore various sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism to build a more resilient economy.",
