A young man identified simply as Chigozie has been allegedly murdered by his employer in Anambra.

 

The deceased who was a manager at a NENCO filling Station in Okpuno Nnewichi in Nnewi North local government area of the State was allegedly stabbed to death by his employer on Wednesday.
According to reports, trouble started when the Director asked the deceased man to provide the sum of N40,000 which he claimed to be missing from the company account.
Chigozie reportedly pleaded with his employer to bear with him, and deduct the said sum from his November salary, but the director of the fuel station declined and insisted that the money must be provided immediately.
According to report, what seemed to be a mild drama turned bloody when the director of the company in a desperate move to recover the said money, stabbed his employee several times with a screwdriver before he collapsed.
A friend of the deceased has since mourned his death in a post on Facebook. Read below.
Even after the confirmation I’m yet to believe you are no more bro, how could this be true? The news of your demise  left me speechless and fuming….an unexpected end,  even after we met in the fuel station to discuss the way forward little did I know it was our last parting. My heart is broken I swear Nwanne, from childhood, primary school, secondary school and now????????
Who are we to question God, he alone knows why…
RIP AUTHOR
RIP BLOOD
RIP GOZIE…… we definitely meet in the other end as your legacy lives on”

The Nigeria Postal Service (NIPOST) has said it is working on a close partnership with the Lagos State Government to boost e-commerce in the state.

The Postmaster-General/Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, Ms. Tola Odeyemi stated this on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu.

According to her, a partnership with Lagos State would enable the Service to optimize last-mile delivery and ensure seamless connectivity within the city and across the nation.

“The e-commerce sector is rapidly expanding, and Lagos is at the forefront of this growth. Through enhanced postal and logistics services, we aim to support small businesses and individuals participating in e-commerce,” she stated.

While noting that one of her primary goals, as the Postmaster-General, is to foster strategic partnerships that would enhance the efficiency and relevance of NIPOST’s services in a rapidly evolving world, the NIPOST boss said:

“I see Lagos State as a critical partner in achieving this vision, given its status as the economic hub of Nigeria.”

Odeyemi said the courtesy visit to Governor Sanwo-Olu shows the importance of partnership in governance and service delivery, saying NIPOST is ready to collaborate with the Lagos State Government to drive innovation, boost economic development, and enhance public service delivery.

She also praised the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration for several programs held in December that attracted many people in the diaspora to travel to Lagos for ‘Detty December.’

Speaking earlier, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu charged the Postmaster-General to challenge the status quo for a sustainable change for today and future needs.

He urged the Nigerian Postal Service to use technology as an enabler to enhance the ease of doing business in Lagos State and Nigeria.

The Governor also reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Government to collaborate with the NIPOST office service centres to improve its physical spaces and enhance e-commerce as well as the movement and sales of goods.
“You and your team need to think outside of the box make a difference and revamp NIPOST. Don’t be shy about challenging the status quo.

“Don’t be shy about saying you want to change what you met because the people who created those things several years ago did what was obtainable then. If you want an organisation that will meet today’s and future needs, change is a reality,” Governor Sanwo-Olu advised the Postmaster-General.
