One of these graduates received five months training on a postal administration course in the United Kingdom organized by the British Post Office. Steps were also taken during the year with a view to recruiting four additional university graduates for the same purpose and these posts will be advertised in the new financial year. This will bring the total of graduates of local universities being trained on higher administrative duties of the Department to seven.
