About 524 African diasporans were on Tuesday granted Ghanaian Citizenship at an official ceremony held at the Accra International Conference Centre.
As part of the ceremony, all 524 swore the oath of allegiance administered to them by a justice of the Court of Appeal.
The admission and granting of citizenship status to members of the African diaspora was the third of such granted under the Presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The naturalisation of the 524 diasporans formed part of the government's agenda to reconnect the African continent with the diaspora which began with the "Year of Return" in 2019 which also commemorated the 400 years since the first enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas.
