The Ghana Post Company Limited has over the past four years undergone tremendous transformation, as it has embarked upon massive face-lift of its facilities, particularly in the Northern sector.
The company has since bounced back into full operations providing services to the general public.
Since January 2020, the Sunyani Post office (Bono region) has had its share of the ongoing facelift, while renovation works are ongoing at the Techiman Post Office in the Bono East region.
In the Ashanti region, 49 Post offices have undergone renovations to strengthen the company’s core mandate of general Postal services including parcels, EMS and other services.
These include the Kumasi Main Post Office and those at Bantama, Santasi, Bohyen Ampambame, Asuoyeboa, Adum Railways Post Office, Kwadaso, UEW-K campus, Suame, Stadium, Airport, Ashtown (Ashanti Town), Tafo, New Tafo, Aboabo, Chirapatre, Manhyia and Ahensan, all in Kumasi.
Others are the Post offices at Offinso, Nyinahin, Nkawie Toase, Tepa, Akropong, Akomadan, Nkenkaaso, Mankranso and Boamang.
The rest are Mamponteng, Obuasi Dunkwa-on-offin, New Edubiase, Fomena, Jacobu, Bekwai, Effiduase, Ejisu, Agona/Ash, Ejura, Agogo, Jamasi, Nsuta, Juaso, Odumasi, Bonwire, Asamang, Wiamoase, Konongo and Mampong.

Mr. Johnson Asante, General Manager of GP (Northern sector), said GP has collaborated with Fidelity Bank to go into Agency Banking to access banking services of Fidelity on GP premises.
He said GP would introduce Post Insurance to offer insurance packages of some of the Insurance Companies in the country.
Mr. Asante further stated that GP had ventured into wholesale and retail business to sell products of some companies to increase the revenue base of the company.
