- President Bola Tinubu has made changes to the leadership of communication agencies, including NIPOST, as announced by Presidential spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale.
- Protesting workers denied entry to the newly appointed NIPOST CEO, claiming her appointment was against their wishes.
In a show of displeasure over Tola Odeyemi’s appointment as CEO/Post Master General, employees of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) have closed down the organization’s headquarters in Abuja.
President Bola Tinubu made some changes to the management of communication agencies, notably NIPOST, last week, according to Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the White House spokesman.
However, there were allegations that Adeyemi Adepoju, the fired post master-general, had been reinstated shortly after the news of Odeyemi’s appointment broke.
In a viral video, Adepoju was seen addressing some workers who claimed Tinubu had reappointed him.
But on Monday, the protesting workers denied entry to the newly appointed NIPOST CEO, saying her appointment was against their wish.
The workers, who said they preferred Adepoju, chanted solidarity songs and wielded placards.
