Title

Nigerian Postal Service

Description

The history of the Post in Nigeria dates back to 19th century. The first post office was established by the British Colonial Masters in 1851. It was considered to be a part of the British postal system. It was a branch of London General Post Office and this was the situation till 1874.

The Royal Niger Company (RNC) which was actively involved in economic activities in the country, set up its own postal system in Akassa in 1887, Calabar in 1891, Burutu in 1897 and Lokoja in 1899. Mail were being moved from these trading stations to and from Lagos by a weekly mail boat.

In 1892, the Royal Niger Company became a member of the Universal Postal Union. By 1908, Money Orders and mail were directly exchanged with the German West African Colonies instead of via London, as it was the practice. In 1925, Royal Airforce planes flew from Kano to Cairo carrying mail for the first time outside the country.
