HC Deb 19 December 1957 vol 580 cc85-6W
64. Mr. Tilney

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that in the Adamawa Division of Northern Nigeria there is one post office for about 1 million people; and what plans there are for the increase in the number of post offices.

Mr. Profumo

One post office and four postal agencies serve the 800,000 people Adamawa Division of Adamawa Province. The amount of business done at the agencies is small and the Federal Government, who are responsible for Posts and Telegraphs, consider that the Province is adequately served.
