The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) on Saturday claimed that President Bola Tinubu has reinstated Adeyemi Adepoju as the postmaster general of the agency.
The announcement is coming a few days after presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale in a statement on Wednesday announced the sack of Adepoju and his replacement with Tola Odeyemi based on the directive of the President.
However, NIPOST in a statement on Saturday claimed Adepoju has been restored to the position of the agency’s postmaster general by the President due to his exceptional leadership and performance.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) has reinstated Rt. Honorable Adeyemi Sunday Adepoju as the Postmaster General of the Federation & CEO of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) due to his exceptional leadership and performance,” the statement reads.
It added that “Sunday Adepoju conveyed his appreciation to the President and other key supporters.
“He pledged to redouble his efforts to elevate NIPOST into a world-class digital postal service & align his vision with that of the Federal Ministry of Communication, Innovation & Digital Economy in contributing significantly to Nigeria’s socio-economic development.
“This reinstatement is a testament to Adepoju’s leadership skills and unwavering commitment to service. Nigerians can anticipate enhanced value & quality services from NIPOST, an agency dedicated to providing efficient, reliable, and effective postal services across the nation through a network of over 3000 post offices, offering a wide range of services including mailing, logistics, courier, and financial services.”
A video of Adepoju and some persons jubilating over the purported reinstatement has also gone viral on the internet.
However, as at the time of filing this report, the presidency was yet to confirm the development of the purported reinstatement of Adepoju as the NIPOST boss.
