The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, has said that the Federal Government will soon unveil policies aimed at unbundling the Nigerian Postal Services. He said this on Tuesday in Abuja during the unveiling of NIPOST revenue stamp.

According to the minister, the policies were designed to transform NIPOST’s operations. He said, “We have many policies of transforming NIPOST in the pipeline and part of it will unbundle NIPOST. “We also have the NIPOST Act ready for amendment.

“We have a plan with a property and development company. The company will bring together all the properties of NIPOST, develop them, and make sure that the government generates revenue from them. “All generated revenue will go into developing sectors like health, education, agriculture, security, and other social developments.”

Patanmi added that other areas of NIPOST unbundling, which include NIPOST transport and logistics, courier services and microfinance bank, would be done before the end of the year.

The Postmaster-General of NIPOST, Dr Ismail Adewusi, said over the years, Nigeria’s history had been documented through stamps. Adewusi said, “Through stamps, NIPOST has documented Nigeria’s history, educating and preserving our national heritage among others.
