The federal government’s plan to commercialise the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) is facing resistance from its staff union, which alleges a ploy to make the service extinct.
The National Union of Postal and Telecommunications Employees (NUPTE) is supported by the Senior Staff Association of Statutory Corporations and Government-Owned Companies (SSASCGOC) on this stance.
In a joint statement on Friday, the unions said the commercialisation plan by the federal government through the Bureau of Public Enterprises was to “tactically make NIPOST extinct under the guise of reform/commercialization.”
