The Postmaster-General of the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST), Ismail Adewusi has been suspended over graft-related concerns.
Adewusi was suspended over issues around the contentious stamp duty and alleged financial misappropriations, a source in the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy confirmed on Friday.
Adewusi was said to be in a superiority tussle with some members of the NIPOST board “and this contributed to his suspension too”.
The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, has approved the appointment of Barrister Bulus Samuila Yakubu as acting Postmaster-General of the Federation/CEO.
Bulus who joined the Postal Services in 1990 hails from Takum in Taraba State. He graduated from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.
Until his appointment, Bulus was the Secretary to NIPOST Governing Board, and Director (Special Duties).
