The Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has charged the Ghana Publishing Company Limited (GPCL) to enhance its efforts in operations to remain competitive.

He emphasized that while the company faces challenges, it should not let them hinder its operations, noting that private-sector businesses also face difficulties but continue to thrive.

On Monday, March 3, the Ghana Publishing Company launched its 24-hour service in line with the government’s ‘24-Hour Economy Policy’, which aims to address Ghana’s economic challenges through strategic interventions. Speaking at the launch, Felix Kwakye assured that he would advocate for the company’s concerns, including ensuring that the government’s printing and publishing contracts are awarded to the Ghana Publishing Company.

“Your Longevity should equip you with the experience and know-how to be able to do much better than your competitors in the Market. I will champion your case strongly on the need for you, to get even preferential treatment.

“So that your mandate can be performed because there is no point in setting up a printing house without getting work to do,” he stated. Addressing the gathering, the Managing Director of Ghana Publishing Company Limited, Nana Kwasi Boatey Esq, highlighted that the new steps taken by the company would strengthen production and create more job opportunities.

“By running this service system, we will be able to enhance service delivery, ensuring that government agencies, businesses, and individuals that bring work to us receive their materials on time. We will also increase production capacity, enabling us to take on larger products without delay.

“We will create more job opportunities as more hands will be required to support the expanded operation sphere.” The Minister toured the publishing facility to assess its operations, also marking the launch of the Ghana Publishing Company Limited’s new 24-hour service delivery.
