Glamtush reports that the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) has unveiled the N255 commemorative stamp to mark the Pan African Postal Union Tower launch in Arusha, Tanzania.
The Postmaster General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Postal Service, Sunday Adepopu, disclosed this during the unveiling ceremony in Abuja.
Adepopu, represented by NIPOST’s Director of Planning and Development, Dr Thomas Gaja, explained that globally, postage stamps were regarded as one of the most effective means to supply information about a country’s history.
The NIPOST boss also said postage stamps were essential assets in the components of the economy of every country and a crucial infrastructure for development.
PAPU is responsible for coordinating postal development in Africa, and the PAPU tower is a new 17-story building for Africa’s continental body.
Adepoju said, “Today, we are celebrating the history, cultural heritage, and diversity of the African continent.”
“NIPOST in conjunction with PAPU member states, today released a single postage stamp that is N250 in value with a surcharge of N5.
“Being an African Joint Stamp Issue, all member states of the union are required to incorporate into the design, an iconic emblem or national natural artefact of their choice in their respective countries.”
He added that the Nigerian version of the stamp depicted the historic Zuma Rock, juxtaposed against the PAPU Tower located in Arusha, Tanzania.
