The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) on Tuesday announced plans to use a National Addressing System to enhance house-to-house delivery of mails.<\/p>\n
The Public Relations Office Manager of NIPOST, Mr Taiye Olaniyi, told newsmen that such scheme would improve service to customers. Olaniyi said that the unplanned, highly populated areas in the country posed a problem to NIPOST especially in house-to-house mail delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cNIPOST has thought it right to initiate this idea of National Addressing System in which case every location, object and human being should be able to have its various addresses.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a result of that, not only will NIPOST be able to deliver to them but other organisations, such as Federal Road Safety Commission and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will use such facilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said that even with the growth of Information Technology and electronic mail delivery, NIPOST was still very relevant in the country.<\/p>\n
Olaniyi noted that in terms of the security, delivery of hard copies was still vital to NIPOST operations.<\/p>\n
He said that parcels and other sensitive items still had to go through the post, whether public or private.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of hackers and internet fraudsters have had their way to track people\u2019s transactions online due to the advent of electronic transactions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis unhealthy incidence of cyber crime in the country should necessitate physical delivery of some of these items; even when people prefer internet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Olaniyi said that NIPOST had been instrumental to the bill before the National Assembly seeking to make the organisation a sole regulator of postal services.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that when the bill is passed, NIPOST will be solely responsible as an operator, although, a national operator, along with other private operators will sound well for our aspiration to move the postal service a little bit higher than it is currently,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
