The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has concluded arrangements to commission an Information Technology system that allows receivers of mail items to know the status of their mails while the mail is still in transit.

Speaking during the 2nd Bulk Post Venture Lecture at Sheraton Hotels and Towers in Lagos, the Postmaster General of the Federation, Alhaji Abubakar Musa Argungu, said when commissioned, the system would allow shakeholders access the status of mails from the computer right in their offices.

“The system, when in operation, will enable shareholders to know the status of their registered mail items given to the Post for delivery. Shareholders can access the status of the mail from the computer right in their offices.”

He stressed: “We want to assure our customers especially the Association of Capital Market Registrars, that by the end of the second quarter of 2005, our Bulkpost Venture will be in a position to ensure that the status of every registered mail item can be accessed at any point of the delivery chain.”

A new lease of life will soon come to subscribers of the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST), nationwide, as the Federal Government has given a fresh mandate to NIPOST to deliver interstate mails within 48 hours.

Area Manager of Osun Territory of NIPOST, Mr Pat Onuekwusi, dropped the hint to newsmen in Osogbo during the 2004 World Postal Day.

According to him, NIPOST valued the quality of service it gives to its numerous customers and this could be achieved through quick delivery of goods and services.
