In plain language

What this regime says.

NIPOST is Nigeria's designated postal operator and publishes a compensation scheme made under Nigerian Postal Service Act and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act 2018. This module names the scheme, names NIPOST as postal regulator, and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, and lists exactly which figures to go and check — it states none, because a claimant sent to demand an amount we guessed is worse off than one told where to look.

Who is covered

Senders and, where the operator's terms allow, addressees of items carried by NIPOST.

What you get

Compensation under the postal rules and an FCCPC consumer complaint route. We state no figures.

Where claims go wrong

  • Not escalating to the FCCPC, which does take individual consumer complaints.
The official claim route

Authority

Every citation,
with its pinpoint.

A claim that cites “EU law” gets filed. A claim that cites Article 7(1)(c) gets answered. These are the exact coordinates this entry rests on.

Sources

Where a figure is indexed, converted or published by a regulator rather than fixed in the instrument, the provenance is recorded separately. Anything marked as a modelled estimate is exactly that — a model, not a statutory number.

What it imposes

Clocks, defences and the ladder.

A rule module builds these while it evaluates, because a limitation period depends on which forum is open to you. What follows is the structure this regime produces — deliberately with no dates and no figures, because those belong to your facts rather than to the law.

Documents

What this regime can produce.

Every one of these is a document you send yourself, in your own name. Duesday never writes to anybody on your behalf and is never anyone’s agent.
