"If you insure the package they can’t touch it because you should know all those cargo are thieves in Nigeria they will even sign your package that you have collected and you never go their office to collect any package."

The founder and chief executive officer of LocQar is an alumnus of Accra Academy in Ghana and holds a degree in Communications and International Business and doubles as a certified project manager.
LocQar is a smart and efficient system that temporarily holds packages for a certain amount of time whether bought online, shops, sent from a friend or client. The recipient of the package receives a pin code to pick the item whenever they are ready.
