The Necessity Of The Post Office 

The post office serves a handful of very important functions. The national post office provides post office boxes stationed in different parts of the country. The boxes are intentionally made as a lockable box. They are placed on the arena of any station in the said post office. 
There are some societies where, before one can get any mail, the person is expected to rent a PO box. The issue is, this method is actually still primitive, as they are yet to upgrade to the century’s standard (which is “door to door” mail delivery).

Generally, the post office accepts parcels and letters, and they also sell postage stamps and stationery to the general public. These are the major (and primary) services the post office offers. Irrespective of where it is located and its operation base, it is expedient to provide such services. 

The Post office also accepts and provides government forms (such as applications of passport), and also makes provision of some banking services (like money orders and saving accounts). Additionally, they have what it takes to process fees that belong to the government as well as services like road tax.

Just like virtually every other thing and sector, the post office also grew and was not constant as far as change is concerned. There was a time when, the only thing available is that, as a person (or organization) shipped a product, it would be taken directly to a specific post office. So, the receiver would have to find his or her way to the post office to get whatever it is they want to claim. This was before the emergence of zipping and Postal codes. Right now, it is possible to sit back, and your post office guys would be the ones that William bring whatever it is you want to claim to you, without issues nor stress. 

Before the postal service came to Nigeria, it has been in Europe and America. As far as telling a rich history of the post office is concerned, we can’t ignore its developments in the United States of America. Years back, the country has the “Post Office Department” and was oversees by a Postmaster General.

In case you don’t know, as early as in the 1650s, Europeans have been enjoying a form of postage services. Although, before the advent of the likes of airplanes, they were limited to only the usage of the likes of rails and motor cars to send their stuff. In fact, before they grew to the stage of building superb rails and automobiles, they have been using horses and carriages for their business! So, when they came here (to Africa as a whole for colonization purposes), they were able to bring these civilizations along, and it became something many Africans have been enjoying. In fact, before a country like Nigeria was granted independence by the British in 1960, our people have been sending letters across the country (even outside the country). 

So, indeed, when taking about colonization of Africans by the Europeans, and we are exploring the positive things that they came with, we can also make mention of this system, that made it easier to send things across from one place to another without much delay (a huge improvement in the “archaic” methods utilised by the old traditional system). 

Today, when we make mention of the word “post office”, it is easy to know that it usually implies to postal facilities that provide important customer care services. General Post Office is the national Head Office of a postal service. For the delivery office (also known as a sorting office), it is the kind of postal facility that is used majorly for mail processing. In fact, in such spaces, there is usually a big area known as “sorting”. The system is an intelligently designed one that made it tough for an unnecessary mix-up to come up.
