The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has engaged Lleida.net, to send all its registered electronic communications. The agreement, which takes effect immediately, is part of the company’s growing expansion plan in Africa.

CEO and Founder, Lleida.net, Sisco Sapena: “Nigeria is the most important market in the region, where the company has already been working for many years. In a country with a growing economy, Lleida.net’s proprietary services can represent an important vehicle to accelerate the continent’s digital transition.”

Lleida.net, which is listed in New York, Paris and Madrid, is Europe’s leading company in the field of registered electronic signature, notification and contracting and one of the most active in Africa. The company already has a patent in Nigeria. Granted by the Intellectual Property Office of Nigeria, Lleida.net corresponds to the company’s method for the registered e-mail containing an electronic signature granted at the beginning of 2020 by a telecommunications operator and is valid for 20 years.

For years, Lleida.net has been managing digital postal communications in the United Arab Emirates and Colombia, among others. The postal services of these states have already begun to distribute registered digital communications that can be used as valid evidence in courts of law and public administrations.

Lleida.net’s technology has received 209 patents from almost 65 countries on five continents, and its intellectual property catalog is one of the most important in the industry worldwide.
