According to the company’s Group Managing Director, Dr. Sola Obabori, the company is able to facilitate deliveries of essential items, such as groceries and medication, within the cities.
“Despite the lockdown being observed in various cities across Nigeria, Red Star Express Plc is still able to deliver groceries and medication within the cities. Our couriers are available to pick up and deliver all essential items during this period. Even though our centres have been closed for the time being, our customer service lines are still functional for customers to call and request for pick-up and delivery. Moreover, customers can make use of the Online Shipping platform on our website (www.redstarplc.com) to order pick-up and delivery from the comfort of their homes,” he added.
Dr Obabori also stated that while restrictions in international movements have hugely impacted on deliveries of international shipments, work is ongoing to ensure that the challenge is resolved in the nearest possible future. “On a regular basis, restrictions on international travel are having an effect on international deliveries. We are monitoring to ensure that we find solutions to making regular international deliveries as soon as normalcy is restored. We are hopeful that this can be made possible in the nearest possible future,” he stated.
