Recall that Mallam Ibrahim Mori Baba retired as the post master general of NIPOST in August last year. He has handed over to the deputy postmaster general (engineering and technical) Architect Enoch Ade Ogun, who is the most senior official in the postal agency.

In June, the President of the Senior Staff Association of NIPOST, Comrade Gabriel Imafidon, complained that the non-appointment of a substantive PMG had become a thing of concern.

According to him since the retirement of Baba, no serious decisions had been taken, although government had on two occasions made appointments in acting capacity.
