MINISTER DEBUNKS YIELDING NIPOST TO FOREIGN MANAGERS





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.”
