SMEDAN Inks MoU with NIPOST to Offer 15% Logistics Discount to SMEs

Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency is partnering with the Nigerian Postal Service to offer a special 15% discount on logistics services.

This is part of efforts to improve business conditions, expand sales, and lower operational costs for Small and Medium Enterprises in Nigeria.

SMEDAN signed an agreement with the Nigerian Postal Service to offer a special discount on logistics services for SMEs.

The Director-General and CEO of SMEDAN, Charles Odii, described the partnership as a direct response to feedback from SMEs regarding the high cost of logistics and its negative impact on sales.

Small and Medium Enterprises contribute 48 % to the nation’s GDP and account for 96% of businesses and 84% of employment in Nigeria yet it is still faced with different challenges.

Through the partnership, both agencies will initiate, process, and fast-track deliveries, ensuring that small businesses can move goods to remote parts of the country efficiently, timely, and affordably.

To ensure a seamless and positive experience for SMEs, both agencies will maintain a dedicated customer support unit to respond to complaints and address any issues that may arise.

This partnership will leverage NIPOST’s national presence and infrastructure, as well as its ongoing reform and modernization efforts.
