Nigeria: FAIRS Country Report Annual

This report provides information on the regulations and standards for importing agricultural and related products into Nigeria. OAA-Lagos made minor updates in all sections and revised Appendix 1 to reflect recent changes in officeholders. In 2024, the Department of Veterinary and Pest Control Services transitioned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, and the Department subsequently split into three separate divisions of Quality Assurance and Certification, Epidemiology and Public Health, and the Office of the Chief Veterinary Officer of Nigeria. In 2026, the federal government plans to officially deploy the long-awaited National Single Window to streamline trade, however full implementation may take additional time.
