The Minister of Communications, Adebayo
Shittu, has debunked reports that the ministry plans to handover the
management of Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) to foreign managers.
Speaking through his Special
Assistant on Media, Mr. Victim Oluwadamilare, Shittu said there is no iota of
truth in the statement. He said the federal government will look inward
among NIPOST staff to manage the affairs of the parastatal, which is one
of the five parastatals under the supervision of the ministry of
communications.
The statement reads in part
“Our attention has been drawn to various
insinuations making the rounds on the social media and a section of the
Nigerian press to the effect that the Ministry of Communications was
said to have concluded plans to hand over NIPOST to foreigners to
manage. Ordinarily, we would have ignored the innuendoes, as there is no
iota of truth in the said story, except for the likelihood of Nigerians
being misled on our genuine intentions to reposition and revitalise
NIPOST,” Adebayo said.
He clarified: “Our vision of the new
NIPOST is a total transformation from being a mono-product service
organisation to a one-stop multi-product service provider with the
ultimate aim of making it a cash-spinning establishment that can make
meaningful contribution to the country’s revenue base.”
