Stakeholders have commended Hon. Adepoju Sunday, Postmaster-General and CEO of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) for commissioning additional 100 motorcycles and ten mail trucks to pummel logistics delivery price for Nigerians with the intention to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal and other prevailing economic crunch challenges.
At the unveiling last Friday, the PMG, said the equipment was purchased to reduce the impact of fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.
He said the organization is being repositioned to provide effective and efficient mail delivery at an affordable cost to mitigate the challenges associated with logistics.
“We commissioned 100 Motorcycles. Since we have this equipment on our own, the Price of rendering logistics will be cheaper than that of others.
“The unveiling is part of the Government’s efforts to cushion the effect of challenges faced by small businesses, especially the effect of fuel subsidy removal, and other challenges faced by small businesses within the logistics sector,” he said.
“Effective and efficient national mail routes system will help put Nigeria on a proper pedestal within global postal administrations.
“The unveiling of new motorcycles and additional trucks is a practical demonstration of the management’s commitment to improving logistics, e-commerce, courier, and mail delivery services,” he said.
Adepoju added that the logistics industry is experiencing a transformation like never before, and the demand for fast deliveries has skyrocketed.
He says, “Most businesses depend on transportation of their goods across local and international locations to fulfill their values and supply chain to stay connected to their customers.”
On his part, the Permanent Secretary Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr William Alo, in his remarks while commissioning the motorcycles, said the infrastructure would herald drastic development in Nigeria’s logistic industry.
“I am pleased with the development trend in NIPOST, the steps taken so far indicate that the future of the service is bright. In fact, NIPOST is almost extinct, but the coming of Sunday Adepoju has changed the narrative”, he stated.
Also reacting to the current feat of the PMG one of the stakeholders in Oyo State, a well known businessman and philanthropist, Chief Salako Amekunlooye said:
“Hon. Sunday Adepoju, Nigeria’s amazing Postmaster-General has demonstrated leadership as expected of a good leader, with his decision of removing every encumbrance that can inhibit the ease of logistics delivery and also crashing price for Nigerians to make delivery affordable and available and deepening revenue generation, while also creating employment.
“It would be recalled that he had made provisions for similar logistics packages for the people before, when he procured operational vehicles for the organization to boost its efficiency, a success story that has not taken place in the last 31 years of NIPOST. ”Sunday Omo’yin” should be strongly commended for transforming the organization and recording many feats within a shortest possible period.
“He is a visionary leader with purpose and dedication whose business has always been to make life more abundant for the people, especially the less privileged which is in fulfilment of his promise to reach out to them and ensure a conducive environment for their businesses to thrive.
