Mrs Ronke Litan, the Oyo State Postal Manager of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), says the advent of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has greatly improved the organisation’s services.
Litan said this in Ibadan during the celebration of the 2024 World Post Day with the theme “150 Years of Enabling Communication and Empowering People across Nations“.
She said that with the advent of ICT and online marketing, NIPOST has been able to promote and support a lot of businesses.
“ A large percentage of the population is more involved in online buying and selling, and NIPOST serves as the channel of delivery in terms of goods and items.
“NIPOST charges, I must say, are quite lower compared to other delivery channels in the country.
She said that the Universal Postal Union (UPU) had over the years helped in promoting and encouraging the use of letter writing as a means of communication.
“Letter writing has existed as a vital means of communication in both formal and informal sectors, and I must say it’s still very relevant to date.
“UPU in its 150 years of existence has enabled humanity to communicate through the medium of letter posts from one country to another.
“ At NIPOST we’re enabling and facilitating communication among Nigerians through the post which must not go into extinction,” she said.
Litan said NIPOST has no fewer than 3000 post offices spread across cities and villages.
“This enables us to deliver even to the grassroots. In delivery, we have no limitations; there’s nowhere we can’t deliver to,” she said.
