According to Dr Adegbuyi, it has been part of his vision since his appointment in 2016, to deliver an adequate and proper national postal addressing system for the country. To this end, he identified FRSC as a strategic partner to the realization of that vision, saying the two organizations share in the value of reform, modernity and technology in their operations.  He assured that after working diligently on the project for the past two years, he was confident that he would deliver on the project of a new dilgitalised national postal addressing system by June this year.

Dr Bisi Adegbuyi highlighted some challenges facing the efficiency of the service, but expressed optimism that with the growing need for proper addressing and identity management in Nigeria which form part of the nation’s vision, its collaboration with the FRSC will add value to its operations.

In his remarks, the Corps Marshal, Dr Boboye Oyeyemi thanked the Post Master General of Nigeria for the visit, saying the partnership between NIPOST and the FRSC has always been in existence.
