The Courier Regulatory Department (CRD) of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), has revoked the operational licenses of 10 courier companies for different offences ranging from unethical practices to non-renewal of licenses.

Senior Assistant Postmaster General of the Federation and Head of Courier Regulatory Department, Dr. Simon Emeje, announced the revocation of the licenses shortly after the clamp down on four other courier companies in Lagos and Ilorin in Kwara State for indulging in sharp practices and operating illegally without licenses.

He noted that the 10 courier operators, whose licenses were revoked, will cease to do any form of courier business in the country, and advised the public to distant themselves from the courier operators in their own interest, since doing courier business with them is now illegal.

The companies are ABC Transport Courier, Arrowhead Courier Limited, Evergreen Worldwide, Imo Transport Company Limited, MDS Logistics Limited, Migfo Express Courier Limited, Montesine Limited, NACFA Express Limited, Quadral Express Limited, and Tide Express Link Limited.

“The essence of our action is to protect Nigerians who patronise courier companies, from getting short-changed by some courier operators who operate under hidden agenda,” Emeje said.

He explained that the 10 courier companies that had their licenses revoked were giving enough notice and warning to desist from sharp practices and to renew their expired licenses, but they refused to comply.
