Speaking also on the pilot scheme, the Managing Director of INTERCHANGE Africa, Adrian Coetzee, expressed delight at the development and described it as a great opportunity to partner with NIPOST and that his company would leverage on its existing relationship with NIPOST to jointly add value to Nigerians, while assuring Nigerians of efficient management of the service“
On his part the INTERCHANGE Chairman, Alastair Holberton said “Through the trusted environment of the Post Office, these services will provide an enormous benefit and convenience to communities throughout Nigeria.”
The roll out is expected to commence on a pilot scheme from the Victoria Island Post Office on Adeola Odeku Street.
Fellow JV Board member, Ade Orekoya added that “Nigeria is the largest and most dynamic remittance market in Africa; we have the product, we have the expertise, and now we can leverage on NIPOST to reach out to a wider audience.”
