The Digital Economy sector has again recorded another milestone as the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami on Thursday, 11th March 2021 unveiled the Diamond Anniversary Commemorative Postage Stamps in Abuja.
According to the spokesperson to the Minister, Mrs. Uwa Suleiman, she said that Pantami noted that the significance of the stamps is deeply rooted in our national history as an independent nation.
“The stamps bring to life, our founding fathers and the roles they played birthing our independence from our colonial masters. This set of stamps illustrates the fact that we can achieve greater success, when we are united, regardless of our diverse ethno-cultural and religious differences. Furthermore, these stamps are to be used in authenticating and validating our official documents, Pantami said.
He further noted that in spite of the enormous challenges bedeviling the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), the Federal Government is committed to repositioning the organisation to attain its maximum potential in adding value to the economy. To this end, Pantami has championed and established the recognition of NIPOST as the legal producer of stamp duties through the Finance Act of 2020, a move which strategically empowers the institution to generate revenue.
The Minister expressed his gratitude to the National Assembly particularly, the relevant Committees for their unflinching support in the journey so far and reiterated his commitment in taking NIPOST to unprecedented heights.
NIPOST was created with the vision to be a thriving market-driven organization, focusing on innovation and Mission to provide efficient, effective and reliable services with the aid of appropriate technology and a well-motivated workforce.
