THE Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, has promised to reach out to the Ghanaian authorities to stop the fresh hostilities against Nigerian businesses by Ghanaian traders.was informed on Monday that Adebayo would seek the assistance of the Ghanaian trade minister to ensure that Nigerian shops illegally shut down by the Ghana Union of Traders were re-opened.
The Special Adviser on Media to the minister, Ifedayo Sayo, said Adebayo was shocked by the latest development, noting that the minister would engage with the Ghanaian authorities on the maltreatment of Nigerian business people in that country. Nigerian traders had been facing serious dilemma following the imposition of a $1m levy on them and other foreign investors by the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre.
Scores of shops belonging to Nigerians, who could not afford the huge business levy, had been forcefully sealed up by Ghanaian traders in December 2019, July and December 2020. The Federal Government had set up a ministerial committee, which held meetings with Ghanaian officials to resolve the impasse.
