The Ghanaian fishing community in Cote d'Ivoire, are calling on government for an ambassador who is well versed in fisheries to help address their challenges.

President Mahama is yet to name the ambassador for La Côte D'Ivoire.

However, Speaker of Parliament Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin says he intends to collaborate with the Ivorian Parliament to address the fishermen's plight.

About 80% of the approximately 3 million Ghanaians living in La Cote D'Ivoire work in the fisheries sector.
