The story
Ghana Post began in 1854 as the Post and Telecommunications Department of the Colonial Administration. It was transformed into a corporation in 1974 following the promulgation of the NRC Decree 311 of 1974.
The Telecommunications Division was separated from the corporation in 1993, and the remaining Postal Division was renamed the Ghana Postal Services Corporation, with its enabling legislation being Act 505 of 1995. In 1995, the corporation was incorporated under the Companies' Code (Act 179) in accordance with the Statutory Corporations (Conversion to Companies) Act 1993 (Act 461), which required certain state-owned enterprises to become limited liability companies. The organisation subsequently adopted its current name, Ghana Post Company Limited.
The company holds a legal monopoly over the provision of the universal postal service, specifically for letters weighing below 100 grams.
The company provides postal, courier, retail, agency, and financial services to customers on a commercial basis.
