NIPOST GETS APPROVAL ON DIGITAL ADDRESSING SYSTEM

The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has received the approval of the federal government to begin a nationwide Digital Addressing System (DAS) and Address Verification System (AVS). 

Based on this, the agency has commenced the DAS and AVS systems nationwide and has digitally uploaded the addresses of individuals and organisations on its online portal, which is now accessible to all, including government. 

The Digital Addressing System and the Address Verification System, were part of NIPOST’s new products showcased at the Lagos International Trade Fair, organised by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), which ended yesterday. 

Speaking on some of the new products and services that were on display at the NIPOST stand all through the trade fair, the Lagos Zonal Manager at NIPOST, Mrs. Adebola Ayeni, disclosed that the DAS was one of the new products recently approved by the federal government, “which sets NIPOST on a digital path, in compliance with the directive of the Universal Postal Union (UPU).” 

According to her, going forward Nigerians would have the opportunity to access their digital addresses from the agency’s online portal, using smartphones.
