At a closing Ceremony of \u00a0a strategic management training for\u00a0Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) staffs \u00a0in Ogere Ogun State, The Minister\u00a0of Communication, Mr. Adebayo Shittu disclosed that \u00a0the country would re-position the NIPOST for national growth by leveraging on information and communication technology (ICT), especially now that disruptive technologies abound.<\/p>\n

According to him, the forum like similar ones planned for the near future, was a demonstration of the Federal Government\u2019s desire to re-position NIPOST and make it an enviable institution whose success story can be replicated.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years, there has been a mismatch between planned targets and budgetary outcomes as well as service delivery at NIPOST. This has impeded growth and development in this very vital organ of national communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is in this context that the retreat was designed to discuss issues around the resolve to reposition the organisation. The retreat also serves as an opportunity to have a general overview of NIPOST within the framework of the ICT strategic road map, its key priorities and deliverables,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Shittu noted that the retreat could not have been more relevant especially at such a time \u201cwhen the ICT sector is seeking homegrown solutions to reposition itself in line with present-day realities of the 21st century. I am positive that everyone has had the opportunity to reflect on how we can re-fix and reposition NIPOST for national growth by leveraging on ICT. \u00a0Repositioning NIPOST brings with it a number of dimensions that must be addressed in a systematic and planned manner, if we are to achieve the desired goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

He promised to fast-track the postal reform bill and urged all and sundry to make improvements in ensuring a better mail and financial service sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the face of fast-shifting customer expectations and technological disruption, we must be on top of our game; we must innovate rapidly. To remain relevant and deliver sustainable superior performance, we need human and institutional capacity development. The workforce needs 21st century skills to stay competitive and relevant in the global, dynamic industry,\u201d he said. Shittu added that the government was ready to digitalise the workforce.<\/p>\n

On his part, Postmaster-General Adebisi Adegbuyi said that it was not totally true that the Internet had crippled opportunities for making money.<\/p>\n

However, he was quick to point\u00a0that postal agencies worldwide have encountered challenges because of disruptive technologies: \u201cInternet has also given us several opportunities in the area of e-commerce, which allows people to shop online and the products have to be delivered to them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
