Adebayo said a bill to reform NIPOST was before the national assembly, disclosing that one of the issues that the bill would help to resolve is the multiple roles that NIPOST played as a regulator, an active operator and a revenue generator.
The minister, who was represented by Sunny Echono, permanent secretary of the ministry, made this known when he visited headquarters of the service in Abuja.
“The transformation of the postal service should be something that all staff should embrace career wise and it is also good for the country’s image and will give more impetus to it services,” he said.
“It will make you a central and vocal element in the governance of our country.
“All issues related to ICT services, financial inclusion, logistics, delivery of goods and services, digital economy and e-governance are all hinged on this platform.
“With your postal offices across the country, you will be one of the prime movers of the implementation.”
He said that the ministry hoped that the national assembly would quickly pass the postal bill so that it would position NIPOST to adequately carry out its mandate.
Shittue said that plans to constitute an implementation committee that would be chaired by Yemi Osibajo, the vice-president, was on ground.
He added that the communications sector roadmap and the e-government master plan were ready for implementation.
