“With coming of APOSUN, POS activities will be more organised, if it is well organize both users and operators will gain better.
“They need training, if they are well train the whole process will work well. We are going to inform all the traditional rulers to work with the association to ensure sanity in POS business across the Federal Capital Territory”
On his part, the chairman Board of Trustee (BoT), Barr. Ibrahim Abdullahi who led other officials to the Ona’s Palace, said the group was out to instill discipline in the operation and curb fraudulent activities.
