The Postmaster General of the Federation, Ismail Adewusi, on Sunday reminded staff of the postal agency that they can create a global postal organisation of their dream if they are committed to the ideals.
In a special May Day message addressed to NIPOST workers across the country, Adewusi said the choices workers of any organisation make have direct impacts on the performance and positioning of the oraganisation.
In the message personally signed by him, Adewusi stated, “As a postal service delivery organization, we are very well-positioned to become the best in Africa and one of best in the world. This goal is achievable if we choose to stay focused on our daily decisions that will take us to the place of fulfillment.”
He reminded NIPOST workers that the pace of change in the delivery business has accelerated in such a manner that NIPOST could not afford to be left behind.
“In the last two years, our successes depended on strategies that continually strengthened our core mandate,” he stated in his May Day message.
The Postmaster General recalled that on assumption of office, the speed with which NIPOST was to operate was slowed down by the coronavirus pandemic.
He stated, “The world had, subsequently, witnessed a significant challenge that affected businesses and altered our ways of life.
“Considering the uncertainty of the time, staying united, as we have done, was the assurance that we had, and the hope that we would overcome the difficult time, driven by our sense of responsibility, our utmost choice to operate with optimism, a commitment to discipline and dedication to our valued customers and the community we operate in.”
He explained that within the context of new innovations that NIPOST has embarked upon, the workers should be determined to find the breaks in the previous and current situations to improve the way they serve the public by remaining a progressive organization.
He said being able to anticipate the changing needs of customers and adapting as quickly as possible to a competitive and evolving marketplace remain key objectives.
The Postmaster General reminded staff that the recent restructuring of the agency was done to achieve greater efficiency adding that “Within this context, I urge all Directors and General Managers to tighten their seat belts as this flight takes off, have a perspective of hope, and be determined to work tirelessly for the development of the new NIPOST.”
