ANTI-NIGERIAN PROTESTS: BIANCA OJUKWU MEETS GHANAIAN PRESIDENT

Nigeria's Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, continued her diplomatic engagements in Ghana, meeting with President John Mahama.

Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu travelled to Ghana earlier in the week in the wake of mass protests calling for the deportation on Nigerian nationals in the Gold Coast country.

In a statement on Friday, Odumegwu-Ojukwu said her visit to the Ghanaian president was to convey President Bola Tinubu’s concerns over the protests.

The minister added that Mahama expressed commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence between Ghanaians and Nigerians living in his country.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu had met with Samuel Ablakwa, Ghana’s foreign affairs minister, over the matter on Thursday.

She appealed for calm during her visit.
