As part of efforts to enhance development in the country, the government has pledged its unwavering commitment to supporting people of African descent who want to come and settle in Ghana.
The measure is to encourage them to return home to use their skills and add value to the socioeconomic growth of the country.
Ms. Naomi Adjei Konadu, Assemblyman of the Apewosika Electoral Area in the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankesse (AAK) District, announced this at the first edition of the Pan-African Conference Series organized by the Obokese University of Excellence (OUE) in Cape Coast. .
The Conference on the theme “The State of the Black Nation” will be organized once a month to promote political and economic integration among member states and help eradicate colonialism and neocolonialism from the African continent.
He said the government is actively seeking to build a competitive advantage by attracting and building a mutual relationship with the African diaspora community.
It was also an opportunity to allow the cross-fertilization of ideas, policy directions and the implementation of strategies to make Africa more attractive as a destination for tourism, trade and investment, especially for the African diaspora community.
He said the government would ensure that the repatriated African diaspora invest their resources and expertise to boost the economy.
“When the government supports the African diaspora, it will put its money, billions of dollars worth of finances into the economy and enhance national development,” he said.
Ms Konadu assured that stakeholders are working tirelessly to ensure that Africa becomes productive and great, but that can only be achieved when the African Diaspora returns and supports with their knowledge and lessons learned.
She praised the government’s intervention in organizing the “Year of Return” project, adding that “what we want is for you to integrate into Ghanaian society.”
The Apewosika assemblywoman said that citizens of Ghana should not see the return of the diaspora as a threat, emphasizing that “Africans in the diaspora do not come here to do illegal mining or exploit resources, but rather they come to invest to improve national development “.
