Bolt Food Ghana says it remains committed to helping create jobs across the country, as it expands its services and recognises outstanding couriers.

The company’s Country Manager, Ali Zaryab, reaffirmed this pledge in remarks about the platform’s growth and impact.

“Our platform not only brings convenience to customers, but it also creates income opportunities for couriers and supports local businesses,” Mr. Zaryab said.

Underlining this commitment, Bolt recently named Abdul Rahman Ishack as its “star performer for 2025,” celebrating his exceptional contribution to the company’s courier network (courier name as given by Bolt).

"At the same time, the growth of delivery services like Bolt does not escape the attention of regulators. The Postal and Courier Services Regulatory Commission (PCSRC), the statutory body mandated to license and regulate courier and postal services in Ghana has commended the role of Bolt Food in expanding formal courier services".

In particular, John Oletey Otuteye, Director of Licensing & Regulation at PCSRC, praised the platform’s contribution to job creation and the formalisation of delivery services.

Mr. Otuteye, whose mandate includes overseeing licensing and regulation of courier operations in Ghana, noted that as more players like Bolt operate formally, the Commission’s ability to enforce standards and protect consumers improves.

“We welcome the efforts of legitimate operators that bring structure to the courier industry, create jobs, and help us ensure regulated, safe, and reliable delivery services for Ghanaians,” Mr. Otuteye said.

Bolt Food’s recent growth and expansion, including its widening partnership network and increased courier base, seem to align with the goals of both the company and the regulator. For Bolt, the drive appears motivated not only by business growth but by a commitment to impact livelihoods positively. For PCSRC, it signals progress in bringing the country’s booming delivery economy within the ambit of regulation and standards.

With courier platforms and regulators working in tandem, Ghana’s delivery and logistics sector may be poised to offer more formal employment, generating value for couriers, businesses and consumers alike.
