Speaking on the harmonisation of the Prohibited Products List, Adewale noted that “Initiatives have been launched to harmonise the list of products prohibited in Nigeria. This step not only promotes consistency but also facilitates smoother trade relations with our partners.

“We are swiftly progressing toward Nigeria’s integration into the Interconnected System for the Management of Goods in Transit (SIGMAT), joining hands with other West African nations. This interconnected system promises to further streamline our transit operations and improve regional trade dynamics,” he further stated.
