I know you came here to spark action, not talk. I’m aware that for some of you, you’ve had to obtain a visa to attend this event… The government of Ghana is committed to ensuring visa-free entry for all Africans visiting our country, and the process has begun to implement the policy this year, he said, “before I leave.”
The President said this on Thursday, January 25, 2024, at the Peduase Presidential Lodge, Akuapim South Municipality, Eastern Region, where he inaugurated a three-day conference titled the Africa Prosperity Dialogues 2024.
