Ghana Post set for overhaul to boost small business logistics

Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has unveiled an ambitious reform agenda aimed at transforming Ghana Post into a modern logistics hub capable of driving e-commerce, cross-border trade, and public service delivery.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the Minister outlined a three-pronged strategy developed following an internal readiness assessment of the state-owned postal service.
“These reforms will transform Ghana Post into a vital enabler of e-commerce, cross-border trade, and citizen access to essential government services, laying the foundation for a more connected and efficient national economy,” he stated.
According to the Minister, the first phase of the strategy will focus on upgrading infrastructure and information systems to keep pace with technological advancements while strengthening protection against cyber threats.
The second component involves overhauling logistics operations to ensure faster, more reliable delivery services nationwide. This, he explained, is crucial to meeting the demands of a growing digital economy.
“Plans are underway to strengthen the backbone of domestic and cross-border trade logistics, especially for small businesses across the country looking to expand beyond national borders,” Mr. George added.
