MR. Adebayo Shittu, minister of Communications, has disclosed that the stringent and prolonged processes in appointing a new postmaster general of the Federation (PMGoF) was to give room for the emergence of a business minded executive to drive the “new” NIPOST.

The minister said, that the ministry’s priority in revitalizing the post is to ensure that whosoever will occupy the position will be prepared to face the business challenges of the 21st Century post offices.

According to Shittu, “NIPOST is a major player in the ministry and the industry and catches my interest. It has a very wide network. Because in the 774 local government areas in the country, NIPOST has structures (offices) in 550 LGA. The other areas where the infrastructures are not available, you still find NIPOST services been rendered through agents.

“If you look at all of these, you will see that there is no human being in our society that is not affected by the services of the agencies of the Ministry of Communications”.

“Nigerians should expect a new, improved and revitalized ICT industry. For instance, I had a tour of few NIPOST offices. We have an acting Postmaster General (PMG) who was supposed to have retired last December.
