Nigerian Postal Services has secured the services of an Egyptian firm, e-Gate Egypt, for digital transformation of logistics and last-mile delivery chain services, among others, in Nigeria.
The Postmaster-General of the Federation/Chief Executive Officer, NIPOST, Dr. Ismail Adewusi, said the collaboration would boost job creation in the country.
This was announced in a statement signed by the General Manager, Corporate Communications, Franklin Alao.
Adewusi said, “Because the digital transformation of the post implies that from end to end, the customer can track the movement of his mails and his parcels. And I think it’s one area that we’ve lacked some form of competitive edge.
“But with the signing of this agreement, I think we have come full circle to addressing this major infrastructure issue.
“And of course, this will also assist us in contributing to the vision of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of lifting 100 million people out of poverty over the next 10 years.”
He said with this newly signed agreement, NIPOST would be able to engage several hundreds of thousands of youths and increase job creation in the country.
