“Whereas NIPOST introduced a postcode system in 1986 as part of efforts to enhance mail collection, processing, distribution and delivery, the present effort is aimed at transitioning the system to a digital platform to create more efficiency and functionality,” said Postmaster General of NIPOST, Dr Ismail Adewusi to the media in Abuja during the signing ceremony.
Accordingg ti Adewusi, the present effort is aimed at transitioning the system to a digital platform to create more efficiency and functionality, adding that such advanced addressing systems will promote the proper functioning of not only the postal sector but the economic sector and the security system.
His words: “Of a certainty, such an advanced addressing system will promote the proper functioning of not just the postal sector. It is a critical infrastructure for meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including poverty reduction, disease control and provision of basic services such as water and electricity.”
