The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency (SMEDAN) has teamed up with the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) to provide a 15% discount on logistics services for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across Nigeria.
This initiative, announced during a press conference at SMEDAN’s Abuja headquarters, aims to address the high cost of logistics that has been affecting SME sales and operational efficiency.
SMEDAN Director-General Charles Odii highlighted that the discount is a direct response to feedback from SMEs, which often reported that delivery costs sometimes exceed the value of their products, stifling sales and limiting growth opportunities.
