The Postmaster-General of the Federation, Mallam Ibrahim Mori-Baba, has said that the ban on use of motorcycle in Lagos State is posing a challenge to NIPOST’s operations in the state.
He stated this on Thursday in Abuja when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
“The challenges have to do with what presently obtains in Lagos State. We are not supposed to use a motorcycle that is less than 200cc and that is a big challenge.
“It came up and we have no option, so most of our motorcycles are out of business, so we now have to use private buses and so it is a very big challenge.
“When this law was not in place, the other challenge that we had is natural and everybody is also into it.
“It has to do with traffic, but otherwise we have been meeting up to 80 per cent of our service delivery. ’’
He told NAN that NIPOST had installed scanners to detect explosive devices in parcels and documents in its offices.
Mori-Baba added that beyond the scanners, NIPOST officials had legal backing to open suspected mails even in the absence of the owner.
