In his working visit to Nigeria, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, was warmly received at the Nigerian Foreign Ministry by His Excellency Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
His visitation was a follow-up action required on the vexed AES/ECOWAS matter after President Mahama’s recent shuttle diplomacy to Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso and his subsequent engagement with President Tinubu.
They further deliberated on enhanced trade and job creation within the AfCFTA framework, Pan-African priority projects such as the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline Project, the 1,028km Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway which aims to connect Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.
The meeting also considered preparations for the ECOWAS@50 commemoration which will be launched in Ghana later this month by President Mahama.
“We deeply cherish the outstanding relations between Ghana and Nigeria, he added.
