POSTMASTER GENERAL'S STATEMENT
The growing importance of postal communication over the years has led to increased concern about the operations of the postal service. Despite increasing threat of modern technology in the areas of telecommunications, the Internet vis-a-vis the prevailing global economic liberalization policy, the Post remains a constant factor in the league of communication options available to the people.
In contemporary Nigeria, postal service is still the most affordable means of communication to a greater percentage of our population. It has continued to play the role of an important medium of communication that can not be ignored. Interestingly, the Post is even waxing stronger and absorbing the potentials of new technology into its array of services.
The Nigerian Postal Service has come a long way, especially, as a service provider in the Postal Industry. It is a member of the Global Postal Family (Universal Postal Union), the Pan African POstal Union (PAPU) with about 4,000 postal establishments, NIPOST has been providing postal and allied services to individuals and corporate bodies within and outside the country in the best possible way.
