Nigeria has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining robust relations with the Republic of Ghana, including at the citizen-to-citizen level. This was contained in a statement signed by Dr.
Magnus Eze, Special Assistant on Communication and New Media, Office of the Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, made this known during her ongoing two-day visit to the West African country.
The Minister is 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 the country, to ensure that the life, property and businesses of Nigeria and Nigerians living in Ghana are safe and protected.
As part of the engagements for the minister, a few minutes after touching down at Kotoka Accra International Airport, 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, United Kingdom.
