It was in line with that policy that the National Council on Privatisation (NCP), at its meeting of 31st&nbsp;October, 2017, approved the Reform of the Postal Sector and specifically, the Restructuring and Modernisation of NIPOST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that meeting, the NCP also approved the constitution of a Steering Committee to be chaired by the Minister of Communications &amp; Digital Economy, to drive the reform process and review the Postal Sector Policy. It equally approved the constitution of a Project Delivery Team (PDT) to serve as the secretariat of the Steering Committee and to develop quick fix reform strategies to make NIPOST commercially viable; and the appointment of KPMG as Transaction Advise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reform essentially involves the unbundling of NIPOST into viable subsidiary companies which will operate on the principle of commercial viability, while the core postal service function will remain with NIPOST as the parent company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequent to the appointment of KPMG as it the Transaction Adviser (TA) on 12th&nbsp;November 2018, the Secretariat held the&nbsp;Kick-Off Meeting on 5th&nbsp;December 2018&nbsp;with the management of NIPOST and the Transaction Advisers in attendance. This signaled the commencement of the transaction process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The decision to undertake the reform of the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) was borne out of the Federal Government policy on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13785,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-1265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-video","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-reform","post_format-post-format-video"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
