Read MoreGhana Post Company Limited (GP) has been nominated by the West Africa International Magazine for the most innovative Postal Service Operator in West Africa award for 2007.
A statement in Accra signed by Mr K. A. Otuo-Acheapong, General Manager, Corporate Communications, said a letter copied to GP explained that the Board of Directors of the Magazine conferred the award for “the innovations that management of the company has brought to bear in the postal service operations in the West Africa sub-region, especially Instant Money Transfer Service (IMT)”.
The IMT is a domestic money transfer service where money is sent from one location to the other, through the network of post offices throughout the country.
The Board said the award was also to be presented to nine other West Africa indigenous companies and two personalities from the sub-region for their outstanding achievements.
Mr Kofi Dua Adonteng, Managing Director, Ghana Post, expressed delight about the award and said the initiative of the management to diversify its operations to provide vital and improved customer service had been recognized by an international magazine.
He said as money transfer had become a viable business enterprise, it had become imperative for the company to streamline its operations by improving its ICT facilities in this regard.
The presentation of the award would be on Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Read MoreThe Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ghana Post (GP), Professor Addo Fenning, has urged the GP to take decisions that will catalyse the development and modernisation of the postal network and improve its efficiency through the application of information and communication technology (ICT) in all facets of postal transactions.
Professor Fenning said this at a regional workshop on the theme: “Implementation of International Express Money Order Via the International Financial Services (IFS) Network” held in Accra Tuesday.
According to him, that would make Internet facilities readily accessible to majority of Ghanaians, especially the youth.
He noted that the government of Ghana was committed to the development of the ICT infrastructure.
Prof. Fenning further said that the inadequacy of ICT infrastructure in Africa had made it imperative for the Universal Postal Union (UPU) to set up regional technical centres and provide support through its training to build capacity for African countries.
The Managing Director of the GP, Mr Kofi Dua-Adonteng said the workshop was important because it showed the commitment of African post in the adoption of IFS as a major component in their operations.
He said the workshop aimed at empowering the administration with skills and strategies in order for it to operate efficiently and profitably and provide varying opportunities for the GP to improve its services to remain relevant to society.
