Chairman of the NIPOST Governing Board, Barrister Maimuna Yaya Abubakar, has raised the alarm that the Federal Inland Revenue Service is about to the posting agency.
According to her, the FIRS has taken over its life stream, which his postage stamp.
She said on Twitter that the idea of stamp duty was NIPOST’s idea but the FIRS allegedly stole it.
She cried on Twitter on Monday: “FIRS are now selling stamps instead of buying from us.
“What is happening, are we expected to keep quite and let FIRS kill and bury NIPOST? We need to get our mandate back. NIPOST are the sole custodians of national stamps, another agency printing and selling stamps is against the law of the land.
“FIRS did not only steal our stamps but also our ideas, what NIPOST had worked for since 2016, our documents, patent and sneaked everything into finance bill and tactically removed the name of NIPOST #justicefornipost.
“I like to make this clear, NIPOST is the only agency charged with the responsibility of producing adhesive stamps and revenue for the for the purchase of such stamp accrues to NIPOST.
There is no where in FIRS act or stamp duty act where it’s so stated that FIRS can produce stamp or sale stamp.”
