The Ghanaian Minister of Information, Kojo Nkrumah, on Sunday, guarded the $1m exchange demand and different guidelines forced on Nigerian merchants in Ghana, noticing that Nigeria had similarly given leader orders keeping outsiders from landing positions which Nigerians can do.
The minister said it was shocking that Ghanaian laws could be depicted as ridiculous, noticing that it was on record that Nigeria had made various strides in quest for its public advantages.
He refered to the conclusion of the Seme-Krake fringes since August 2019 as a component of steps taken by the Federal Government, which he said had influenced the neighboring nations.
Nkrumah blamed Nigerian brokers in Ghana for net infringement of retail exchange laws, including tax avoidance, migration offenses, and selling unacceptable items.
Nkrumah expressed this in response to an announcement by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, that the Federal Government would no longer support the detailed badgering of Nigerians in the previous Gold Coast.
Mohammed had in his announcement on Friday recorded different demonstrations of hostility against Nigeria and its residents by the Ghanaian specialists, including the takeover of some Nigerian strategic properties, prejudicial extradition of 825 Nigerians inside one year and cruel prison sentences on Nigerians.
However, Nkrumah said in opposition to Mohammed's cases that 825 Nigerians were extradited between January 2018 and February 2019, just 700 Nigerians associated with misrepresentation, prostitution, and furnished burglary were ousted from Ghana.
Nkrumah expressed, "The Federal Republic (Nigeria), then again, is on record to have made various strides lately, in quest for her public advantages, which have gravely influenced different nations in the district.
"These incorporate the conclusion of Nigeria's Seme-Krake fringe from August 2019 to date and the issuance of leader orders by Nigeria's Presidency keeping outsiders from landing positions which Nigerians can do, to make reference to a couple."
The minister guaranteed that the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, would draw in with Nigeria's President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and build up a structure for approving the cases of abuse of residents of either nation and guarantee they appreciate the full exercise of their privileges while regarding the power and laws of the two nations.
Nkrumah said his partner's attestation on the supposed seizure of Nigerian Mission property situated at No. 10, Barnes Road, Accra, was erroneous, taking note of that the land was gained by Nigeria from a private resident, Thomas Hardy, on October 23, 1959.
The minister clarified that the business rent on the land terminated 46 years back with no proof of restoration by the Nigerian High Commission in Ghana.
