Staff of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) have locked the entrance gate of the agency’s headquarters in Abuja preventing the postmaster general in gaining access to the office.
Savannah Newsnow reliably gathered that the protest was against the appointment of Tola Adeyemi as the new chief executive officer (CEO) and postmaster general of the agency.
Recall President Tinubu had earlier sacked Adepoju as the Head of the agency and appointed Odeyemi as the new CEO.
According to announcement made by the presidential spokesperson, Chief Ngelale 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”.
