NIPOST revokes licences of eight courier firms

A total of eight courier companies' licences operating in Nigeria have been revoked by the Courier Regulatory Department (CRD) of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) for several offences including unethical practices, failure and refusal to renew operating licences.

They are:  Ambassador Express Limited, Coop Courier and Cargo Services Limited, De Jetmil Courier Limited, Express General Logistics Limited, OPL Express Limited, Proservinc Limited, UK Ail Courier Limited and Focus Express.

The Senior Assistant Postmaster General and Head of CRD, Dr. Simon Emeje, made this disclosure at a clampdown exercise on ''Up I Swear God'' Transport Company, based in Lagos for alleged illegal operations.

Confirming this development, the CRD of NIPOST, which is in charge of regulating courier activities in Nigeria, urged the general public to stop patronizing them in their own interest.
