We Are Committed To Business Dev-NIPOST
The District Postal Manager, Port Harcourt District, Mrs Funmilayo Esiri, has said that the Post remains a leading factor in the country’s business environment.
She said this while delivering her speech at the 2018 World Post Day in Port Harcourt, last week.
Esiri said that the Post had over the years provided strong business support for the people through its various delivery means.
The Port-Harcourt NIPOST boss, who spoke on the theme “ The Post Delivering Goods To The World”, pointed out that it was apt due to the role played by the agency in the exchange of information and service delivery.
According to her, the Post as a public service had impacted much on the economic and business concerns of nations regardless of their status.
The NIPOST chief who listed the commission among the agencies undergoing the onslaught of world economic crisis, and stiff competition, linked such development to what she tagged as market Liberalisation, e-commerce and others.
She also called on the people to be patient with the Post to enable them pass a better judgement on its operations and services.
“Please assess and harness the enormous opportunities inherent in the postal business before drawing conclusion”, she appealed.
On the plans to meet up with the current challenges in the communication industry, she said that plans have reached advanced level to ensure that the commission mantained its lead in the industry.
The Tide gathered that this year’s edition of World Post Day, was the 144th since its inception on October 9, 1874 by the Universal Postal Union (UPU).

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
