The District Manager, Port Harcourt Postal Service, Mr Mba Olugu, has described the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) as the most secured and efficient mail delivery system in the country.
Olugu said this while delivering an address during the 2020 World Post Day celebration in Port Harcourt,  last Friday.
He said the title of this year’s celebration, “More Than A Mail”, was apt due to the trend of positive mail handling system visible in the system.
The NIPOST boss noted that the postal service had remained strong despite many challenges facing the industry over the years.
He also disclosed that the industry had its own negative share of the global economic quagmire occasioned by the COVID-19  pandemic.
Olugu further listed globalisation, liberalisation, e-commerce and new technologies as other challenges facing the Post in recent times.
According to him, the postal service never folded its arms and watched the development rock its boat, but has positively adjusted, thus its continued lead in the industry.
He boasted that training and retraining of staff, as well as the introduction of new products for better service delivery had made the postal service sustain its lead position in the industry.
Olugu said the postal service was committed to its core mandate of prompt service delivery and commended the Post Master General/ Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Postal Service, Dr Adebayo Adewusi, for his robust and open door policy which he said, was instrumental to the visible growth in the system.
The Tide reports that this year’s celebration was the 146th edition.
It would be recalled that the United Nations had set aside October 9 of every year as the World Post Day celebration.
