History of The Nigerian Postal Services

After the British Colonial masters established the first postal system in what was to be Nigeria, much more progress was made in establishing a sustainable indigenous system which meant that at the time of independence in 1960, 176 Post Offices, 10 sub Post offices and 1,000 Postal agencies were in the country.  The Federal Government by Decree No. 22 of 1966 made the postal department a more commercial enterprise, a step that made it more efficient and responsive to public needs. Today, the Nigerian Postal Service also controls the following Business Ventures, EMS, Bulk Post Venture, NIPOST Central Workshop, Philatelic Services, Courier Regulatory Services, Parcel Post Venture and NIPOST PostCash. A testament to its steady growth and adaptation to an ever changing market.
