The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) central post office in Kubwa, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, has been in a state of disrepair for five months, the MeridianSpy exclusively report.
Our investigation reveals that the post office has a damaged roof and a dilapidated structure. Despite trailing the rehabilitation activities for five months, the post office remains in the same condition since February 2024.
Two staff members, who wished to remain anonymous, confirmed that the office has been in disarray for an extended period. They criticized the management style, pointing out that the surrounding environment is filled with dirt, grass, and even a sizeable cassava farm.
A walk around the vicinity revealed dilapidated structures, with some sections rented out to small business owners while some staff appeared unhappy and troubled due to the neglect of their welfare considering the economic hardship by this current administration.
Further investigations showed that the Nigerian Postal Service hierarchy has neglected the office and staff welfare for years. A temporary caravan, placed aside from the main building, is structurally deficient and too small for staff to perform their duties effectively.
An insider who spokes to our correspondent revealed that it was a struggle to get NIPOST to provide the caravan, and the office lacks decent toilets. The soakaway pit behind the main building is collapsing, with grass growing around the supposed toilet living staff.
The MeridianSpy’s attempts to reach NIPOST’s administrative hierarchy for comment were unsuccessful
READ ALSO Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
