Accra:The Ghana Publishing Company Limited (GPCL) is undergoing a significant restructuring of its operations aimed at expanding its market presence in West Africa and enhancing its commercial performance.
According to Ghana News Agency, the reforms include the establishment of a commercial sales department, the introduction of a digital platform for gazette applications, infrastructure upgrades, and the extension of services to a 24-hour operation.
Nana Kwasi Boaitey, the Managing Director of GPCL, announced these initiatives during the Government Accountability Series in Accra on Monday.
