Abstract
National, regional, and international trade facilitation and logistics costs play a key role in the world economy. One particular characteristic that distinguishes international logistics from domestic logistics and its impact on the global economy is the crossing of borders between two or more countries, besides the complexity consisting of a mix of cultural, political, technological, and economic issues. Thus, the Nigerian Government requires a digitally advanced set of rules and regulations to foster cross-border movement of goods and services. Based on this background, this study aims to leverage on the lessons that Nigeria can learn from the Saudi Arabian trade facilitation experience and logistic performance.
