A section of the Ghanaian populace has called on the country's security agencies to rein in organisers of the "Nigeria Must Go" protests, warning that such actions threaten Ghana's hard-won reputation as a peaceful and hospitable nation.
According to concerned citizens, the recent wave of anti-Nigerian demonstrations has created unnecessary tension among other foreign nationals residing in Ghana, a situation that could have dire implications for the country's economy and diplomatic relations.
They warned that such unrest tends to discourage other foreign investors from coming to Ghana, undermining efforts by President John Dramani Mahama, who has been travelling abroad to attract investment and strengthen economic ties.
They emphasised that Nigerians have contributed significantly to Ghana's economic growth over the years and cannot be written off as irrelevant to the nation's development.
