NIPOST to partner agencies to fight COVID-19

The Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST, has expressed its readiness to join hands with the presidential task force and other relevant agencies in the fight against the COVID19 pandemic.

A statement by the general manager, corporate communication, Franklin Alao, says NIPOST, is offering to facilitate the distribution of humanitarian aid, medications, and medical equipment to areas where needed, and bridging the social distance gap necessitated by the pandemic.

It also promises to make changes in delivery processes like adopting longer retention period for parcels, to give customers longer time to collect or have their items re-delivered.
