The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has announced that Adeyemi Adepoju
has been reinstated as the postmaster general of the agency.
On Wednesday, President Bola
Tinubu relieved Adepoju from his role and appointed Tola Odeyemi as the new
chief executive officer (CEO) of NIPOST.
The announcement made by Ajuri
Ngelale, presidential spokesperson, was part of the leadership shuffle
implemented for agencies and parastatals under the ministry of communications,
innovations and digital economy.
However, in a new statement published on NIPOST’s official X account on Saturday, the agency said the president had reinstated Adepoju.
The statement said Adepoju was
reinstated “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.
“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 in a
jubilatory mood over the purported reinstatement has since surfaced on social
media.
In the video, he is seen arriving in a sport utility vehicle (SUV)
into what looks like a NIPOST premises where he was acknowledging cheers from a
jubilating crowd.
However, the presidency has yet
to release an official statement confirming the reinstatement of Adepoju as the
postmaster general of NIPOST.
Ngalale was not immediately
available when contacted by TheCable for clarification on the development as
calls to his mobile phone did not go through while messages sent failed to
deliver.
