The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has set a target to achieve a N10 billion revenue increase through strategic expansion and innovation. This announcement was made by the Postmaster General and CEO of NIPOST, Mrs. Tola Odeyemi, during the opening of a three-day Strategic Management Retreat in Abuja. The retreat was attended by NIPOST management, directors, and postal managers from across Nigeria.
Mrs. Odeyemi emphasised that the current leadership is committed to transforming the postal service into an agency that adds value to government operations and positively impacts ordinary Nigerians. One key initiative includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN). This partnership aims to reduce the cost of transporting goods for the 22 million businesses registered with SMEDAN by 15%.
