, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has commenced a special initiative of rotating his office and making the Foreign Minister more accessible to Ghanaians everywhere in the world.
The Minister in a statement noted that their first batch of office rotation was taking them to Benin, Nigeria and Togo. "I have so far spent two days in Benin interacting with the vibrant Ghanaian community here, meeting Ghanaian students on a French-Year-Abroad Programme, speaking with Ghanaian entrepreneurs, meeting with staff of STC and holding talks with the impressively organized leadership of the Ghanaian community in Benin," Ablakwa stated. "The exclusive engagement with staff of our diplomatic mission has been absolutely beneficial as it will clearly lead to the right and most appropriate set of interventions when I return to Accra." The Minister said, he had also inspected all Ghana's diplomatic properties to appreciate their true state for a more curated policy response.
During my visit, I availed myself for private consultations at our embassy with Ghanaians desirous of a one-on-one opportunity to discuss important and urgent matters with their Foreign Minister." He said he intends to embark on this special office rotation and working visits initiative regularly.
He noted that he was looking forward to spending the next three days in Nigeria. "We hope to reach out to our compatriots in Africa before replicating this in other continents," Ablakwa stated.
