Commenting on the milestone, Bice Osei Kuffour, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Post Company Ltd, said the stamp celebrates the Ghanaian traditional leader’s 25 years in power. She added that the unveiling of the digital stamp also helps preserve the heritage of Asantehene.
“Today, by unveiling commemorative stamps dedicated to Her Majesty’s reign, we affirm our commitment to innovation and excellence in preserving our nation’s stories and transmitting them to the world,” Kuffour said.
