Nigeria now has a new Nipost
Postmaster-General, Abubakar Argungu, has said that NIPOST has been transformed into an efficient and effective mail delivery organisation.
Argungu, who spoke recently in Enugu during a visit to Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, said that “Nigeria now has a new NIPOST.”
The postmaster-general further said that the establishment had been turned around “which is one of the dividends of democracy.”
He said that a letter posted within the same town could now get to its destination within 24 hours, while it would take 48 hours from a state capital to another town in the same state and 72 hours from one state to any other part of the country.
Argungu said that the organisation’s couriers service would take about 48 hours maximum to reach its destination within the country.
“It has been accepted that NIPOST has achieved about 80 per cent success in its services,” the postmaster-general said.
He said that NIPOST was now responsive, responsible and had no rival in the country in mail delivery services, adding that NIPOST had introduced a special delivery service that delivers mail bags to the owners without their coming for it and urged governments to patronise the service.
Responding, Nnamani, who was represented by the state’s Deputy Governor, Chief Okechukwu Itanyi, commended NIPOST for the improved services and urged it not to relent.
He said that the state government had been patronising the organisation and would continue to do so and expressed the state government’s determination to offer its support to the organisation.
