The privatisation and deregulation of corporations and hitherto government owned companies have resulted in increased entrepreneurial initiatives
It is obvious that Nigeria has a trade and commerce inclined economy, where business activities (buying and selling of goods) are of high intensity. These goods are regarded in postal parlance as parcels. Also, the high volume of goods which are constantly being generated require an attendant need for evacuation from one part of the country to another. It was this consideration that the Management of NIPOST deemed it fit to create a Parcel Service Venture.
The Parcel Post Venture was established formally by the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) in November, 2004; an indication of the Management's apparent commitment to re-position the hitherto moribund parcel product for greater financial accretion and operational efficiency. This goes a long way in addressing the problems hitherto experienced in the general parcel delivery system in order to enhance the socio-economic needs and aspirations of the various classes of our highly esteemed customers.
OUR VISION
To create parcel service that is customer responsive that will compete favourably in all market environments.
OUR MISSION
To provide qualitative parcel service that is effective, reliable and safe with committed management team that guarantees customer satisfaction.
