Ghana Publishing Company Limited to launch public education campaign on gazettes
The Ghana Publishing Company Limited (GPCL) will, on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, launch a nationwide public education campaign aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of the Government Gazette.
The campaign, which is called Gazette 360, will be launched at a press conference at the company’s head office in Accra.
It seeks to educate the public on the contents, legal importance, and relevance of the Gazette in everyday life.
GPCL explained that the initiative is also meant to deal with the problem of fake gazettes that are being circulated and used in various sectors.
The company said part of the confusion and fraud comes from the fact that many people do not know what an authentic gazette looks like, how it is issued, or where it can be accessed.
The Gazette 360 campaign is being delivered in partnership with Marry Right Ghana and supported by AngloGold Ashanti.
According to GPCL, the press conference will feature opening remarks from its leadership, statements from campaign partners, and a question-and-answer session with the media.
The Company stressed that the Gazette is a legal document and warned that fake versions create problems such as misrepresentation, fraud, and legal complications.
GPCL said the campaign will help create the awareness needed for the public to know the Gazette, use it, and trust it.

The Ghana Police Hospital will carry out a fumigation and maintenance exercise from Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3, 2026.
According to a statement issued by the hospital’s Public Affairs Officer, Chief Inspector Faustina Afia Nunekpeku, the exercise will affect the Eye Clinic, Intensive Care Unit, Specialist Consulting Rooms, Maternity and Labour Ward, Female Ward, Male Ward and the Theatre.
Management of the hospital explained that the exercise is intended to improve safety and hygiene within the facility.
As part of preparations for the fumigation, the hospital said there will be no new admissions at the affected departments from April 30, 2026, to help decongest the units before the exercise begins.
The hospital has therefore appealed to the public and its clients to take note of the temporary arrangements and seek healthcare services at alternative medical facilities during the period.
Management also thanked the public for their understanding and cooperation.

A special intelligence team of the Ghana Police Service has dismantled a robbery gang responsible for a series of violent attacks in the Upper East region, following an intelligence-led operation on April 29, 2026.
The suspects, Awudu Kasim, Malik Baako, Mohammed Amidu, and Wadud Abdul were arrested at their hideout at Zuarungu.
A search at the location led to the retrieval of a G3 rifle loaded with 30 rounds of ammunition which had been concealed in the storage compartment of a motorbike that suspect Samsudeen Mohammed and an accomplice known as “DJ”, currently at large, had robbed from a victim. Police also retrieved seven (7) other motorbikes believed to be stolen.
During interrogation, the suspects admitted involvement in a series of robbery attacks across the region. These include an attack on February 2026 along the Zuarungu–Kongo road 4, during which a bus driver, Ussif Abdul Razak, sustained gunshot injuries and lost three fingers, and a separate attack on a cargo truck driver, Mohammed Ibrahim, on the same stretch.
They also admitted to a robbery at the Kejetia mining site at Gbane on 28th March 2026, where a miner, Atani Mark, was robbed of cash and gold, as well as other incidents in the area.
Two suspects, Samsudeen Mohammed and Seidu Safianu, now deceased, sustained gunshot injuries during the operation. Their bodies have been transported to the Police Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy.
All four suspects are in custody assisting investigations, while efforts are ongoing to arrest other accomplices, including one identified as “DJ”, who is at large.
The Ghana Police Service has assured the public that all those at large will be arrested to face the full rigours of the law
