The NIPOST CEO said efficiency in public service would ensure that consumers of services get value for their money.

“Efficiency is what we must all endeavor to achieve in our various organisations as we match on as a country. NIPOST for example has embarked on a series of reforms aimed at delivering cutting edge services to members of the public,” he said.
