Edo NUJ Calls For Revival Of Abandoned Post Office




The Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has urged the management of the Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) to revive the abandoned post office located along Akpakpava road, near the Central Bank of Nigeria in Benin City.


Chairman of the Edo State NUJ, Dr. Festus Alenkhe, made this call when the management of the Edo Territory of NIPOST visited the NUJ secretariat. 


Dr. Alenkhe expressed disappointment that the once-thriving post office had become a hub for street urchins and touts, engaging in nefarious activities.


Despite this, Dr. Alenkhe commended NIPOST's efforts in sustaining the postal service amidst the rise of the internet. He also pledged the support of Edo State journalists in promoting stamp collection for future generations.


In response, Mr. Augustine Aleburu, Manager of the Nigeria Post Service, Edo State Territory, sought collaboration with journalists to enhance NIPOST's services. 


He appreciated the infrastructure development at the NUJ secretariat under Dr. Alenkhe's leadership.


Separately, Dr. Alenkhe hosted members of the Kegites Club, Edo State Council, emphasizing the need for the club to maintain its distance from secret cult groups and focus on promoting African culture.
