Tinubu Appointed CEO Of NIPOST Rejected By Staff, Head Office Shut Down

Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) workers have shut down the head office of the service in Abuja, protesting against the appointment of Tola Odeyemi as Chief Executive Officer/Post Master General.

Last week, Ajuri Ngelale, Presidential spokesman, announced that President Bola Tinubu has made some changes in the leadership of communication agencies, including NIPOST.

But, moments after the news of Odeyemi’s appointment, there were reports that Adeyemi Adepoju, the sacked Post Master-General had been reinstated back.

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 and desire.

The workers, who said they preferred Adepoju, chanted solidarity songs and wielding placards with various inscription.
