FG Supports Nigerians, Orders Investigation Into NIPOST Price Hike

Following the public outrage after the Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST announced that it was increasing the charges on Courier services, the Federal Government has kicked against the idea.

In a series of tweets this morning, the minister of communication and digital economy, Isa Pantami, insisted that the increase was not part of the regulation he approved for the agency on Friday, July 24.

“Our attention has been drawn to an increase of licence fee, which was not part of the regulation I earlier approved for you,” he stated.

He added that NIPOST chairman and Post Master General “were yesterday (Friday) contacted to put the implementation on hold and send a report to our ministry by Monday.”
