He added that the awards where earned through dedication and remarkable performance of  staff who in addition to their normal promotions where rewarded handsomely at the end of their service with the organsiation.

The awardees included Mr Olajide Ajire who emerged as most outstanding officer, Akpan Okokon, best postman, Boniface Inegbairie, best counter officer, Isele Patrick, best security guard, Oniawa Lawrence, but driver and Barr. Mansirat Abdulraheed as first runner-up.

It could be recalled that the awards where introduced in 2002 with the desire of the management of NIPOST to raise the already low morale of the average hardworking staff then.
