Scheduled for Thursday, 4 December 2025, at De Marii Hotel LFZ in the Lagos Free Trade Zone, Lekki, this year’s retreat is themed “Maximising Emerging Technologies for Sustainable Import and Export Trade.”

According to a statement jointly signed by Paul Ogbuokiri, Chairman, and Adaku Onyenucheya, Secretary of the Conference Planning Committee, the FIRS will deliver a technical paper titled “Onboarding on the National Single Window Platform: A Step by Step Guide.”

The presentation will provide practical insights into integrating with the National Single Window (NSW), a transformative platform designed to streamline documentation, improve transparency, and enhance the efficiency of import and export processes.

MARCON noted that with the NSW Secretariat domiciled within the FIRS, the agency’s participation reflects its central role in driving technology-enabled trade facilitation and supporting the government’s efforts to modernise revenue administration and compliance systems.

With the NSW expected to go fully live in the first quarter of 2026, the organisation said the retreat is timely and strategic, offering the FIRS a platform to enlighten stakeholders on onboarding requirements and clarify compliance expectations.

Beyond the technical sessions, the retreat aims to deepen maritime journalists’ understanding of the digital tools and evolving policy frameworks shaping Nigeria’s trade environment. Participants will also engage with practical case studies and expert-led analyses designed to strengthen their reportage and industry engagement.

The event is further expected to enhance collaboration between the media and regulatory agencies, fostering accurate, development-focused coverage that supports national efforts to build a more competitive and technology-driven maritime sector.
