Ghana has formally handed over to the High Commission of Nigeria in Accra the building that was reconstructed after it was demolished by the government in that country.

A statement on Wednesday by the acting spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kimiebi Ebienfa read: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform that the Government of the Republic of Ghana has today, 20th November, 2024 formally handed over a building belonging to the High Commission of Nigeria in Accra, Ghana.

“It is recalled that, the demolition of the building by Ghanaian authorities, was strongly condemned by the Nigerian Government, and following a series of high-level engagements, the Government of Ghana promised to reconstruct the block of four-bedroom flats.

“The handing over by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of Ghana, Her Excellency, Mrs, Shirley Ayorkor Botchway is seen as a commendable development and a symbol of Ghana’s commitment to strengthening the ties between both countries.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs applauds the laudable gesture and affirms that the reconstructed building embodies the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect that defines the relationship between the Republic of Nigeria and the sister Nation, Ghana.
