FG Orders NIPOST To Desist From Courier License Increment (17485 Views)

HappyNigerian: 12:57pm On Jul 25, 2020

The Federal Government has rejected the proposed increment of license fee for courier services by the Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST.

The minister of communication and digital economy, Isa Pantami, in a tweet Saturday morning, insisted that the increase was not part of the regulation he approved for the agency on Friday, July 24.

“Our attention has been drawn to an increase of licence fee, which was not part of the regulation I earlier approved for you,” he stated.

He added that NIPOST chairman and Post Master General “were yesterday (Friday) ed to put the implementation on hold and send a report to our ministry by Monday.”

NIPOST’s proposed increase as announced, has generated huge outrage in the public.

The new charges introduced by NIPOST are expected to cause an increase in the cost of courier services and delivery goods.

According to NIPOST, companies which provide international courier services like DHL, UPS and FEDEX, are expected to pay N20m for a new licence and N8m annually while those who offer national services are expected to pay N10m for licence and N4m yearly for renewal.

Wait fess

I don't understand, is it these people doesn't consult the Fg before saying anything. It seems there is no synergy between the Federal Government and Ministry.

I during my time as an Exco in school, before informing the students on anything, we would have deliberated it among ourselves, them the office in charge would disseminate it. (I know it quite different) but at least the Fg should be informed before anything.

Anyhow government

Imagine my caretaker in Abuja telling me that my tenament rate is ₦65,000 which is for federal government. Meanwhile my house rent is ₦650,000. I don't understand what we've gotten ourselves into in this country.

In same country people just pack tax money in Ghana must go bag and disappear with impunity

Good. They are just copying sane countries in taxing citizens to death while tactically ignoring the methods these countries put in place to better their citizens. Shame on Nigerian Leaders Past and Present.
