DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTING SINGLE WINDOW
4
•Lack of existing Legal Framework for the smooth implementation of the Single Window.
• Coverage of Large area of telecommunication networking customs formations spread across Nigeria, that has an area of about 926,000sq kilometres .
• Lack of regular power supply affects the implementation and operation of the Single Window as generators are deployed most of the times.
• The effect of weather where strong winds deflect antennas on masts and thick clouds that break satellite transmission.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST COSTS?

• Installation and maintenance of the telecommunication equipment.
• Running cost of generators with fluctuating prices of diesel.
WHAT TYPE OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS RECEIVED/NEEDED

• Technical support needed to build capacity in the IT unit to further enhance effective management of the system.
