The Ghanaian government has initiated moves to stave off a looming diplomatic row between Nigeria and Ghana over maltreatment of Nigerians in that country.

In a statement it issued yesterday, Ghana denied that it has ever mistreated Nigerian citizens living in the country as reported on the media.

Apparently reacting to the issues raised by Nigeria’s minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, Ghana’s minister of Information, Kojo Nkrumah, in the four-page statement, defended the $1million trade levy and other regulations imposed on Nigerian traders.

He noted that Nigeria had equally issued executive orders with a view to preventing foreigners from getting jobs made exclusively for Nigerians.

Nkrumah said it was surprising that Ghanaian laws could be described as outrageous, saying it was on record that Nigeria had taken a number of steps in pursuit of its national interests.

The minister cited the closure of the Seme Krake borders since August 2019 as part of steps taken by the Federal Government of Nigeria, which he said had affected neighbouring countries.
