NIPost introduces new services
The Nigerian Postal Service, has introduced new products and services to cater for the needs of customers.
They include special delivery service, registered letter home delivery service, bulk mailing service, parcel service, post-shop slogan die advertisement and electronic mail (E-mail).
This was disclosed by the NISPOST area postal manager, Kano territory, Alhaji Yahaya A. Rufa’I, in a speech he delivered at the customers’ forum on Wednesday in Kano. He explained that while some of the new products and services are still in the pipeline, NIPOST has already started others like registered letter home delivery.
His words: “NIPOST is adapting to the changing market environment and increased competition from other players in the market. In the face of these challenges posed by the advancement in technology, NIPOST has introduced new products and services tailored towards meeting the needs of our customers.
He disclosed that in Kano territory, a lot of security devices were put in place to ensure the security of customers’ mails. Registered and insured mails, he said, were now sealed at points of posting and delivery.
This, he added, helps to check the activities of unpatriotic staff and has won the confident of customers.
Alhaji Yahaya called on NIPOST customers to cultivate the habit of clearing their mails regularly from their post office boxes and private mail bags. This, he said, will guarantee early collection of time-sensitive mails.
He further appealed to NIPOST customers to settle their outstanding bills on boxes and bags for guarantee of efficiency and uninterrupted service to them by NIPOST.
The area postal manager stated that broaching, tempering and obstruction of mails have been reduced to the barest minimum, if not, completely eliminated because of the high priority given to security by the management of NIPOST.
During the interactive forum, NIPOST customers appraised the performance of the organisation in the past year in Kano and also pointed out some areas of deficiencies, while some enquired for more information about the new products and services introduced.
