NIPOST debunks sacking of Postmaster General, Dr Adewusi

By Ogaga Ariemu

Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has debunked news making the round that its Postmaster General of the Federation, Dr Ismail Adewusi has been fired by President Muhammadu Buhari.

This was contained in a statement released to Nigerian NewsDirect on Tuesday by NIPOST’s Director Corporate Communications, Mr Franklyn Alao.

“The attention of NIPOST management has been drawn to the trending report with the headline ‘Buhari Sacks Postmaster General’ alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday sacked the Postmaster General (PMG) of the Federation, Dr. Ismail Adebayo Adewusi.

“NIPOST wishes to state that the purported news is false, reckless, mischievous and it is meant to mislead the public.

“NIPOST wishes to advise all stakeholders and the general public to disregard the malicious information.

“Dr. Ismail Adebayo Adewusi is in office performing his official duties working tirelessly to ensure the transformation of the agency and boost its quality of service, in line with best global practices.

“Since assuming office, NIPOST has witnessed Nobel ideas aimed at transforming its operations in line with the digital economy agenda of the Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“Such malicious fake news could only be the handiwork of those who do not wish the organization well in its commitment towards contributing to the overall economic transformation of Mr. President,” the statement reads.

Nigerian NewsDirect gathered that a blog posted news alleging the sack of Adewusi on Tuesday.
