The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that it is working hard to facilitate the safe return and reintegration of Ghanaians facing deportation from the United States.
Speaking at a press briefing in Accra ahead of the ECOWAS at 50 launch, Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said approximately 160 Ghanaians are currently on the deportation list.
Ablakwa assured the public that the ministry is committed to supporting returnees.
“For us, on the grounds of humanitarian reasons and human rights, we have decided not to publicise information about them,” he said.
“So, when they arrive, our team welcomes them and helps them with integration and connects them with their families. We are also working with other partners quietly because it is important that we respect the dignity of our fellow compatriots and not expose them to media coverage” he added.
The ministry’s efforts aim to provide a smooth transition for the returnees while protecting their privacy. With deportation flights ongoing, the Ghanaian government is working to ensure the safe and dignified return of its citizens.
