    GHANA LACKS THE NO HOW TO WIN THE AFCON -KWESI APPIAH

    Former Black Stars coach James Kwesi Appiah says the country should focus on developing players before they can end their AFCON trophy drought.

    According to Kwesi Appiah, the Black Stars can win the AFCON if the Ghana Football Association maps up a strategy to groom players and have a long term plan to develop the game before they can end the AFCON title drought.

    “We can’t just say we are going to win AFCON, we need to have a long term plan for our national teams and groom quality players before we can win the AFCON,” he told AtinkaFm

    “For now we lack quality players to win the AFCON.”

    Kwesi Appiah supervised Ghana in two AFCON tournaments in South Africa 2013 and Egypt 2019.

    Ghana got eliminated in the Round of 16 through the penalty shootout by Tunisia in the 2019 tournament held in Egypt

    GHANA POST INTRODUCES MOBILE MONEY PAYMENT

    Ghana Post has announced to the general public that, although WAEC checker cards are available at its various offices nationwide, parents or students can now directly buy all WAEC e-vouchers by dialing *447*160# on their phones.

    This means students and parents do not have to visit any of the Ghana Post offices. With the penetration of smartphones and internet connectivity, businesses are increasingly adopting a mobile-first go to market strategy and the nation’s designated postal service operator is no exception.

    FOR MORE NEWS

    In a brief interview with the Chief Commercial Officer of Ghana Post, Jonathan Ansah, he indicated the company has recently leveraged technology to improve service delivery. We are optimistic that parents would particularly find this payment system helpful in buying the WAEC e-vouchers to check their wards results and subsequently purchase the school placement cards. Businesses are also expected to make a little more margin since they can buy the WAEC e-vouchers at bulk.ghpostpay.com at a discounted rate. You don’t need to have a smartphone to access this; any mobile phone design does this,” Jonathan Ansah said.

    Mr. Ansah also hinted that Ghana Post will soon launch a simple, user-friendly payment and collections platform that enables individuals, institutions and businesses to access various financial services offered by Ghana Post from the comfort of their homes via the use of Visa, MasterCard or mobile money.

    “Although we are yet to unveil our new GhPostpay App, the public can go ahead and download it from Playstore. A key feature of the GhPostpay App is the fact that parents who want to buy any of the West African Examination Council’s (WAEC) scratch cards, School placement checker, university forms or pay for their letterboxes do not need to go and queue in any of the facilitates,” he added

    According to Ghana Post, some of the branches that provide e-service are also on standby assist parents and wards in checking results. In the just-ended Ghana Shippers Awards 2019, Ghana Post was awarded Excellence in Innovation and Technology for showcasing smart new services which approach every day in new ways, enhance performances and spearhead that big change that no one even thought they needed until it was made.
