CourierPlus out to Redefine Courier Business in Nigeria

 Finally, the Intercontinental Bank Plc has achieved another plus by making a foray into
the courier business in Nigeria . It is no longer news that banks in Nigeria before the shake up by the Central Bank of Nigeria were showing much interest in doing business in the courier sector, but what is new is the dimension which the Intercontinental Bank is taking courier business with its offspring, CourierPlus.
CourierPlus emerged as a brand name after the company  applied as IRL Courier Services Limited for registration at the Courier Regulatory Department (CRD) of Nipost. It has since launched service having acquired a license from the courier regulatory body  to do business in the sector.
With an imposing head office complex on the Murtala Muhammed Airport Road, Lagos, the company says its mission is to develop, manage and continuously improve global logistics systems that strengthen customers’ competitiveness.  It plans to work in collaboration with its customers and act with superior competence, commitment and speed in the total supply chain, both locally and globally.
