Nigerian Post - information about carrier

The Nigerian Postal Service, abbreviated as Nipost, is a government-owned and operated corporation, is the Nigerian postal administration accountable for offering postal services in Nigeria. It has more than 20,000 staff members and runs more than 5,000 post offices.

The history of the Post in Nigeria go back to the 19th century. The first post workplace was developed by the British Colonial Masters in 1852. It was considered to be a part of the British postal system. It was a branch of London General Post Office and this was the scenario till 1874. (1862) when the Post Office started its career as a full-fledged Department, the Royal Niger Company (RNC) which was actively included in economic activities in the nation, set up its own postal system in Akassa in 1887, Calabar in 1891, Burutu in 1897 and Lokoja in 1899.

Mail was being moved from these trading stations to and from Lagos by a weekly mail boat. In 1898, the British Post Office developed post workplaces at Badagary, Epe, Ikorodu, Ijebu-Ode, Ibadan and Abeokuta. In 1892, the Royal Niger Company ended up being a member of the Universal Postal Union. By 1908, Money Orders and mail were directly exchanged with the German West African Colonies rather of through London, as it was the practice.

In 1925, Royal Airforce planes flew from Kano to Cairo bring mail for the first time outside the country. From January 1, 1900, the Southern Nigeria Government took over the responsibility of running the postal system in the whole nation. There were few excellent roadways in those days as such mail was conveyed by canoes, launchers and runners which might just run at intervals of 2 weeks or less.

While mail delivery was at first the business focus, British Postal orders were being offered and encashed as from 1907 in post workplaces located at headquarters of all District Commissioners. By 1906, 27 Post Offices were operating and at the time of independence in 1960, 176 Post Offices, 10 sub Post offices and 1,000 Postal companies were in the nation.

At self-reliance, the post was administered jointly with Telecommunications as a federal government department. Later on, postal facilities and services grew in leaps and bounds. The Federal Government by Decree No. 22 of 1966 made the department a quasi-commercial organisation a step towards making it more effective and responsive to public needs. The Nigeria Postal service Department entered into being with the facility of the Nigeria Telecommunications Limited (NITEL) on January 1, 1985.

NITEL emerged from the merger of the Telecommunications arm of the defunct Post and Telecommunications Department of the Ministry of Communications with the previous Nigeria External Telecommunications Limited (NET). Through the promulgation of decree No. 18 of 1987, NIPOST became an Extra-Ministerial Department.
