Read Time:1 Minute, 52 Second
In an effort to portray itself as a cutting-edge, technologically advanced, and modern postal agency, the Nigerian Postal Service has announced a number of audacious reforms.
The reforms, which were implemented under the theme “Change of Renewed Hope Berths at NIPOST Shores,” were part of an effort to bring the agency into line with international best practices, meet the demands of Nigeria’s expanding digital economy, and support President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, according to a statement released by NIPOST on Monday by Franklin Alao, its Director of Corporate Communications.
According to the postal service, a dedication to innovation, accountability, value, and service quality was at the heart of the change.
It assured Nigerians of a revitalised postal service that delivers superior service and embraces digital change.
NIPOST expressed appreciation to the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, for his support and leadership.
It also commended the Chairman of the NIPOST Board, Barrister Isaac Kekemeke, for his strategic foresight, and the Postmaster General/Chief Executive Officer, Tola Odeyemi, for her efforts in championing institutional reforms, improving staff welfare and driving capacity development.
As part of the new initiatives, NIPOST said it would implement a performance-based reward and recognition system to encourage excellence among staff, alongside strict disciplinary measures to uphold integrity.
A major feature of the reforms is the transition to a fully cashless system.
Beginning from July 1, 2025, NIPOST said all post office counters nationwide would no longer accept cash payments for services, adding that customers would be required to use approved electronic channels for all transactions.
The statement read, “A major highlight of the reform package is the transition to a fully cashless system. Beginning July 1, 2025, all Post Office counters nationwide will no longer accept cash payments for their services. Customers will be required to use approved electronic channels for all transactions.”
NIPOST described the move as a critical part of its modernisation efforts aimed at ensuring safer, faster, and more transparent service delivery.
The agency added that through the reforms, it aimed to reposition itself as a dynamic, technology-driven player at the centre of Nigeria’s digital transformation, with a renewed mission of “Connecting Nigeria, Delivering Solutions, and Improving Lives.”
