The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working tirelessly to facilitate the safe return, reintegration, and reunification of 160 Ghanaians facing deportation from the United States of America (USA). Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, says comprehensive efforts are underway to ensure the dignified return of the affected individuals. "We have decided not to publicise information about them.
So, when they arrive, our team welcomes them and helps them with integration and connects them with their families," he said. "We are also working with other partners quietly because it is important that we respect the dignity of our fellow compatriots and not expose them to media coverage," he added.
Mr Ablakwa disclosed this at a media briefing on Thursday in preparation for the launch of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) 50th Anniversary in Accra on Tuesday, April 22.
As part of the Golden Jubilee launch, Ghana will host an Extraordinary Meeting of the Council of Ministers of ECOWAS on April 22 to 23.
