Fresh Trouble For Nigerian Traders In Ghana Over Right To Trade
It appears there’s no end in sight for the many problems being encountered by Nigerians Ghana as CityNews Nigeria has exclusively gathered that they are about to be forced out of the system permanently.
The National Association of Nigerian Traders has called on the Federal Government to take urgent action as Ghanaian authorities embarked on another round of closure of shops belonging to Nigerian traders on Monday.
The National President of NANTS, Ken Ukaoha, who made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja, condemned the maltreatment of Nigerian traders in Ghana.
Ukaoha said that the entire process showed Ghana’s decision to undermine trade and economic integration process in the West African region.
He, therefore, urged the Federal Government to take immediate actions and urgently present the maltreatment of Nigerians in Ghana to the Council of Ministers and the Authority of Heads of State.
Hundreds of shops belonging to Nigerian traders in Ghana have been under lock and key since September, 2019.
“As at today, November 30, the Ghanaian Authorities led by Security Agencies have started another round of closure of shops belonging to Nigerian traders in Ghana.
“The notice placed above the padlocks on each of the locked shops informs owners to come to their Ministry of Trade and Industry with evidence of payment of one million dollars.
“It is indeed a complete dent on the face of ECOWAS and a bold question, perhaps asking the Nigerian Government ‘What would you do?’ or ‘Do your worst!’” Ukaoha noted.
