Consumers in Nigeria can now send parcels or documents at their nearest Total service stations.

International express provider DHL has signed a retail partnership with energy giant Total to increase access to global logistics services in the country, reported PM News Nigeria.

The DHL service is currently available at 30 Total Nigeria service stations and expected to be offered at 100 stations more in the second phase.

Randy Buday, Country Managing Director of DHL Express Nigeria, pointed out the increasing importance of express logistics industry for consumers, as well as small and medium enterprises, and stressed the need to make the services more accessible and affordable.

“Total is therefore a good strategic fit for us as they have an extensive retail footprint across the country,’’ added Buday.

The DHL partnership is also in line with Total’s strategy to further diversify its product offerings.

“With the addition of courier services to our service offers in TOTAL, it has further re-emphasised the company’s vision of making its retail outlets a one stop centre where other activities beyond the purchase of petroleum products can be made,” said Maxence Bourgoing, Network Development Manager of Total Nigeria Plc.
