With these services included some smart investors would smell Blood
That's what happened to the Royal Mail
Check US UK canada

hopefully they improve with their service. That means I won't travel to abuja to renew my passport again?

Hmmm

This will help revamp them. Since the Advent of internet Nipost has lost its core functions such as letter sending, etc

socialmediaman:
Seriously misplaced priority. They should focus on improving postal delivery services with technology, completing the postal/zip code system so that every house in Nigeria can be identified with a zip code, acquiring more delivery vans, improve their customer service delivery with exceptional call center executives and "always available" help centers, and also improving their tracking systems. They can fight the competition with private firms like Fedex, and become the no 1 choice of delivery for online ordering

Just as an FYI.

US postal service is near death here and have had to reinvent.

US postal service is the only place to get your US passport.

Give these government a chance will you please.

oh no , forget it

Baba! I dont understand oh. Mbok can you explanation how NIPOST is take and be multi billion dollar chunchin?

Forget my gramar, mbok am selious.

My brother, if you give NIPOST to those that know what they're doing, that enterprise can yield a minimum of N1b every month, and that's a minimum . . .. That mammoth has the network and infrastructure, and name to make over N1b every month! DHL and FedEX have roughly a combined 'sales' of over $100b (not all profit) between them last year alone.

NIPOST can replicate that or do better even.

And that's just what the courier part can do . . . not to mention other services it can render making even as little as N100 sure money on over a minimum of 20-40 million Nigerians every month![i][/i]

I agree

[size=14pt]At least for once this man has said something reasonable and forward looking. Back in the US you do not all need to travel miles to the passport office or Drivers Licence Office to procure either documents. Just walk to the nearest post Office to your residence and process same. It will be mailed back to your residence saying you travelling cost and the associated risk.
Challenge how ever is with both the Drivers Licencing Office and the Passport Office who are always holding to their turf and unwilling and unyielding.This would lead no where rather makes life miserable. [/size]

Immigration department see your lives. Useless fishes will have their water dried up.

Now that there will be little fuel in your tanks, lets see how far you can drive

Good to hear. Thanks for the clarification.

Pangea:
This is what happens when old men with typewriter mentality are holding crucial department in the computer age!
Other countries have changed their postal service with the new reality and are making money while Nipost is virtually useless.
They are only good at putting outrageous fines and duties on imported things!
Awon ole!
If they can do this, then better for them!

You're correct, Nipost or post-office in other countries in Europe, one can do lots of things there, like sending Western-union, Money Gram, etc, but dat of their Nigerian counterpart is nothing to write home about, you post letter via Nipost today to Europe or US, it will take 4-5 months for it to arrive @ its destination, dat's if not even declared missing in transit/action

Why are most of this online shops such as jumia, konga olx, kaymu etc not using the services of nipost?

At least for deliveries and what have you. They already have the man power, know the terrain and are in all nooks and crannies

usps fleet of aircraft can serve all of africa alone, we get the population. you can make billions from here

REALLY, NIPOST TO ISSUE PASSPORT? OUR PASSPORT WILL THEN GO TO WRONG HANDS LIKE BOKO HARAM FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. EVEN HOW WILL THEY IDENTIFY PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. PLEASE MAKE UNA THINK AM WELL BEFORE THAT MOVE

sincerely u cannot be more correct than this.
But I have long lost hope in the abiliy of any government to run a profitable or at least a self financing venture.
So I wud say the first step is a full privatisation of NIPOST. then the private sector can begin implementation of any wonderful idea they have. If this is not done first, NOTHING can work.

Only courier services is a multi billion naira venture sef

Ineffeciency.

The efficiency maybe reduced due to inadequate numbering and registering of streets and buildings. That should come first

agarawu23:
Hmmmm
Can they renew my passport for me?

This same nipost that are yet to give us good service with their mumu postal crap.

Rhaspody:

Says who? Nipost in delta state enforces a non documented N500 charge for every parcel collected through them after paying all due charges while purchasing the item.

OKAYYYY Issue does not mean produce. IF THEY ISSUE, WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO PRODUCE,PRINTING PRESS?

Wow! I had no idea. Me sef follow for the ignoramuses on the commercial potentials of NIPOST.

Thanks for the heads up.

Rhaspody:

And that's what is obtainable in civilized nations. We will get there, slowly but surely.

What the govt need to do was to overhaul the Nipost to make it work effective and to be able to generate more revenue the rate of missing parcels,letter and luggage in the agencies is so alarm, most time letters and parcels while be tear probably the agencies staff are looking for money, i have receive letter that have been tear at many side of the envelop. the agencies should also be use an e-commerce, e-business platform where business like internet cafe, identity card printing etc should be carry out

DRIVERS LICENSE DE VERY IMPORTANT!! THE PRICES THESE ROAD SAFETY GUYS,ARE CALLING NOW, BUHARI NEEDS TO HEAR IT
N25,000.

Almost a year and I'm yet to get my permanent national ID from them and they are talking about drivers license.... Abegi

waiting for for something productive to happen at NIPOST is like waiting for the proverbial change that continues to elude Nigerians...dont wait do something for yourself now... ...check my post on financial independence...
