The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) in Plateau State at the weekend decried the low patronage of its e - services in the state. Speaking at an event to mark the annual World Postal Day, the Area Postal Manager, Mr. Alex J. Bature, said NIPOST was not being properly utilized.

He added that the information and communications technology services such as e- commerce, Post - cash (Online transfer), e- registration as well as public Internet access points offered by NIPOST were being explored. Bature, who maintained that the services were not only for communication, also essential for the growth of the economy, said, "people have failed to take advantage of these opportunities, instead they go about with the wrong impression that the post is no longer relevant in today's business. For instance, students in our higher institutions queue up at private cyber cafés for research and e- learning, leaving behind Internet access points provided by the post offices located close to them".

There is no gain-saying that the nation’s healthcare sector since independence has been plagued with the challenge of achieving the delivery of quality healthcare to the majority of its populace. These are evident in the state of inadequate infrastructure and lack of basic amenities some healthcare institutions in the country are confronted with. Though successive administrations have carried out one form of refurbishment of facilities at these health institutions, some existing health services are either not affordable or inaccessible to the vulnerable group, especially the poor and people living in rural and underdeveloped areas.
