The Health Committee of Parliament is calling for stronger border regulations to address the increasing threat of illicit drug trafficking in the country.

This move is seen as a significant step forward in Ghana's efforts to strengthen its border security and governance, with the potential to positively impact the country's economy and national security.

It follows the interception of opioid drugs worth some GH₵20 million at the Tema Port by the Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), in collaboration with other stakeholders.

The shipment, which was en route to Niger, was successfully stopped.
