The ministry of Foreign Affairs Geoffrey Onyeama has summoned the High Commissioner of Ghana to Nigeria, Ambassador Rashid Bawa, over the continue closure of over four hundred Nigerian shops in Ghana.
The Minister said the Ghanaian envoy was invited to give a definitive explanation on the treatment of Nigerian traders in that country.
Mr. Onyeama noted that a committee was being set up at the highest level in Nigeria to look into the matter and to look at how, as a government, to respond to the situation.
“And, we said as part of understanding of what the situation is now legally and factually to give this opportunity to brief us on the current situation,” he said.
The closure of over 400 Nigerian businesses in Ghana had sparked a protest by the National Association of Nigerian Traders (NANTS) and the Nigerian Union of Traders Association Ghana (NUTAG).
