The National Public Relations Officer of the service, Abdullahi Maiwada, stated that upon the completion of the pilot phase and verification of ongoing compliance with all established provisions, participants would be awarded certificates to formally recognise their status as Authorised Economic Operators.

The service stated that the initiative which took effect on September 2, 2024, introduces new standards in line with global best practices, aiming to enhance trade facilitation, ameliorate existing difficulties within the supply chain, and strengthen Nigeria’s position in the global trading community.

This was contained in a statement on Wednesday issued by the service.

Maiwada said these benefits would be administered continuously, contingent on the compliance of all selected participants with the programme’s provisions.

He said the inaugural participants were carefully chosen based on their outstanding compliance within the supply chain, following an exhaustive three-month AEO validation process designed to uphold the highest selection standards.
