Speaking at the event, Adewusi said it was significant “to celebrate the successes we have made as a country, which are documented in miniature artifacts, howbeit, with Bold Statements of Our Nationhood”.
He added: “It is of utmost importance to say that we are gathered today not just to witness the opening ceremony of this epic exhibition but that NIPOST, as a partner in this project, plays a strategic role in the socio-economic and political spectrum of our country.
“It has, over the years, documented Nigeria’s story through issuing of postage stamps for the purpose of education and preservation of our national heritage, among others.
“Interestingly, today, we are showcasing these stamps to inform, educate, entertain and remind the general public of the historic events that occurred in the time past.”
