The Federal Government has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining robust ties with the Republic of Ghana, including people-to-people relations. The Minister of State, Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, made the commitment on behalf of the government during her ongoing two-day visit to Ghana.

The Special Assistant on Communication and New Media to Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Magnus Eze, in a statement, said the minister was in Ghana to address the situation of Nigeria-Ghana citizens’ relations and meet with relevant stakeholders at both ends, including the President of Ghana, the country’s Foreign Minister, traditional rulers and Nigerians resident in Ghana.

This, Eze stated, was to ensure that the lives, property and businesses of Nigerians and Nigerians living in Ghana were safe and protected.

“As part of the engagements for the minister, a few minutes after touching down at Kotoka International Airport, Accra, Ghana, on Tuesday evening, she had a quick interface with the Inspector General of Police, Ghana, Christian Tetteh Yohuno, who was on his way to London, the United Kingdom.

“Odumegwu-Ojukwu continued similar engagements yesterday with Ghanian officials and leaders of the Nigeria community,” Eze said, adding that the minister was expected back to Abuja today.
