Ghana Post will unveil a special stamp, the Asantehene Commemorative Stamp, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II’s reign.

The ceremony on May 4th at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi promises to be a grand affair, bringing together prominent figures from Ghana and beyond.

More than just postage, the commemorative stamp is a tribute to Otumfuo’s significant contributions and a symbol of Asante and Ghanaian heritage. It represents national pride, resilience, and the enduring spirit of the country.

A Celebration of Culture and Legacy

Ghana Post’s Managing Director, Bice Osei Kuffuor, highlights the stamp’s significance. He describes it as a beautiful blend of art and symbolism, honoring both Otumfuo’s legacy and the rich heritage of Ghana.

The stamp launch extends beyond Ghana’s borders. A future ceremony in the United Kingdom will showcase Ghana’s cultural richness on the international stage.

Engaging the Youth

To further celebrate this milestone, an essay writing competition will be held for students aged 9 to 15. This competition encourages young minds to reflect on Otumfuo’s impact and his role as a leader who inspires positive change.
