The Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) has announced the endorsement of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) EMS/Parcel as one of the official couriers of the commission for its business transactions with effect from September 1, 2020.
The disclosure was made by NIPOST through a tweet post on its official Twitter handle on Wednesday, August 26, 2020.

He said that the policy will create sanity in the process and encourage strict conformity to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control’s guidelines for COVID-19. This is as the rendering of these services by the courier firms was borne out of the need to protect CAC workers and the customers against the pandemic.
