October 16, (THEWILL) – Workers of the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) have shut down the head office of the Service in Abuja to protest the appointment of Tola Odeyemi as Chief Executive Officer/Postmaster General.
THEWILL reports that President Bola Tinubu had, on Wednesday, October 11, appointed Tola Odeyemi as Postmaster General/CEO, Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST).
Earlier, some media (not THEWILL) had reported that Adeyemi Adepoju, the sacked Postmaster-General had been reinstated by President Tinubu.
While there was no official confirmation of his reinstatement, the reports had cited a viral video, which allegedly captured Adepoju addressing some workers who claimed Tinubu had reappointed him.
But on Monday, the protesting workers denied the newly appointed NIPOST CEO entry, saying her appointment was against their wish.
The workers, who said they preferred Adepoju, chanted solidarity songs and wielded placards.
