President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has disclosed his government’s resolve to implement a visa-free policy in 2024 for all Africans traveling to Ghana.
According to him, his administration has initiated policy implementation processes this year.
Addressing participants at the opening of the 2024 Africa Prosperity Dialogue on Thursday, January 25, the President stated I know that many of you had to acquire a visa to come to this event, we made a special arrangement for this conference.
He said we reduced the visa acquisition fee by 50%, and we were thus able to receive your visa on arrival. The Government of Ghana is committed to ensuring visa-free access for all Africans traveling into our country, and the process has begun to implement the policy this year.
He called for a critical examination of these dialogues in meeting the demands and expectations of the private sector.
The President also charged Africans to work hand in hand to strengthen their governments in a free and fair democratic system of governance.
He entreated Africans to work together to get the buy-in of the small traders and farmers to believe that a single market for Africans could benefit them.
