Nigerian traders interested in operating in Ghana
will no longer be required to raise a minimum
capital of 300,000 dollars.
This is according to President John Mahama.
This comes after the Ghana Union of Traders
Association (GUTA) and the Ministry of Trade
and Industry tried to eject all foreigners
operating in Ghanaian markets in 2014.
This led to the setting up of an inter-agency task
force established to enforce the new Ghana
Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) law 865
which authorizes petty trading as the sole
prerogative of Ghanaians.
The task force is made up of representatives
from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Trade
and Industry, Ghana Police Service, Ghana
Immigration Service, Ghana Investment
Promotion Centre, Accra Metropolitan Assembly,
Registrar General’s Department, Social Security
and National Insurance Trust, Ghana Revenue
Authority – Domestic Customs and the Ghana
Union of Traders Association (GUTA).
But the new protocol for the issuance of
ECOWAS biometric cards entitles ECOWAS
citizens to work in any country in the sub-region
without any hindrance.
In 2016, ECOWAS citizens will be issued with the
regional bloc’s biometric identification card to
ensure free movement of persons, and to
promote security in the West African sub-region.
“I think that our continued pursuit of greater
regional integration is resolving the issue by
itself. As you are aware we have agreed on the
protocol for the issuance of the ECOWAS
biometric cards to all ECOWAS citizens and that
ECOWAS biometric card entitles ECOWAS
citizens not only to visit but to reside and work
in each other’s countries,” President John
Mahama said at a Forum during a State visit by
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to President Mahama, all attempts to
eject Nigerian traders in Ghana automatically
have been suspended.
“The card would entitle automatically not only
Nigerians but all ECOWAS citizens to the right of
abode in Ghana if they decided to do so and that
automatically will trigger an amendment of the
law that requires the capital of 300,000
dollars,” he stressed.

That stipulation must have been placed because of the body language of GEJ that permitted and supported corruption.
His regime was an era when swalliwags and nincopoops travelled to Abuja on the back o articulated trucks or borrowed #5000 to return to their communities as made looters.
Next, they ported to Ghana, UAE, China etc to squander dollars on questionable business ventures to hide their loot.
And of course, Ghana capitalised because they know the game plan of our looters.

The past governments have been biased and shoddy in their dealings.. When the Ghana president said Nigeria is Practising over protectionism and being a bully . Nigerians took it the other way round.. Ecowas has provided the ground for internal integration, but despite that fact. Nigeria banned a lot of Ghanaian goods and business from entering Nigeria. Using a lot of grounds to suite their reason. Of which a lot of big men were behind. Because of the fear of competition. Trying to play smart and all. In turn the Ghana gov said pay 300k if you want to enter the market. Sounds outrageous.. Yeah.. Well there is no smoke without fire. I believe that buhari visit will do a lot and foster a positive relationship amongst the two countries

Pmb in Ghana for one day.
Reprieve for my brothers investing in the land.
Slowly but surely, Nigeria will be great and sweet again for us all.

The op is diabolical liar. ..ghana suspended it since last year...you people thrive on evil propaganda

Reason why PDP and it's unrepentant minions should remain buried till we rise again.

The only time I celebrated under GEJ's government was when we won African cup of Nations. That's all! Ehen, and when he lost the election, that one, I threw a party for that was his greatest achievement for Nigeria
