The Ghana Post will today October 9, 2018 mark ‘the world post day’ celebration across the country.
The theme for the celebration is “imagine you are a letter travelling through time, what message do you wish to convey to your readers”.
Deputy managing director for Ghana post, Kwasi Tabi Amponsah who made this known on Accra-based Star FM monitored by Adomonline.com explained the relevance of each Ghanaian having a personal Ghana Post Address (GPS) to help in finding locations due to the unique address number it gives to people who register.
