A former Postmaster-General/CEO of Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), Bisi Adegbuyi, has called for the adoption of the structures and services of the service in the distribution of palliatives to the needy and poor in the country.
In a statement to commemorate the World Identity Day coming up tomorrow, the former Postmaster-General who is now the Chairman/founder of Grassroots Address and Identity Network Ltd (GAIN LIMITED), said since NIPOST has offices and address posts in all the local government areas of the country, it is more effective for state governments to use their services.
According to Adegbuyi, as of 2022, NIPOST had 2,251 post offices nationwide.
He also explained that the number of mail received from abroad and delivered in Nigeria increased by 107 percent from 9.4 million in 2019 to 19.5 million in 2022.
The public administrator clarified further that revenue from postcash, an electronic money order service that sends and receives money nationwide and worldwide, increased by 3,424 percent from N458,546 in 2019 to N16.16 million in 2022.
Adegbuyi, therefore, concluded that “NIPOST is critical in reaching masses of the people.”
