The former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Publishing Company, David Asante, has highlighted significant financial and operational improvements during his tenure.
Speaking at a handing-over ceremony, Mr Asante noted that the company’s financial position had greatly improved from GH¢80,000 in its accounts at the start of his tenure to millions of Ghana Cedis at present.
“There is a Ghana Publishing Company Limited that has money in its account. When I took over, we had GH¢80,000 in the company’s accounts. Today, we have millions of Ghana Cedis in the company’s account. Today, the Ghana Publishing Company I took over has a new branch in Ashanti Region in Kumasi,” he said.
Mr Asante also underscored the company’s transition from a debt-ridden institution lacking essential machinery to a well-equipped publishing firm capable of handling major contracts.
“Today, the Ghana Publishing Company that we inherited, that was debt-ridden, that they didn’t have machines to execute bigger contracts, now we have acquired all manner of machines that have put us in the proper technical disposition to execute most of the jobs,” he added.
The new Chief Executive Officer, Nana Kwasi Boatey, outlined his commitment to advancing the company’s operations in line with the government’s vision.
“My first and initial commitment is to ensure that we will practicalize the President’s vision of a 24-hour economy almost immediately. Because I have seen that you are ready for it and I see no reason why we should not be able to double our production, double our sales, and double our staff,” Boatey stated.
