Ghanaian police personnel will be ruthless towards the members of the Ghana Union Traders Association (GUTA) tomorrow, while the Nigerian-owned shops set up on the Opera Square are open to the business world.
The shops have been closed by some GUTA members since Monday, with Nigerian claimants claiming that the Nigerians had seized the sales area, reserved exclusively for locals.
Security sources told Ghanacrusader.com that the Ghanaian police would be on red alert tomorrow and would not ask anyone to do justice themselves in Accra's central business district.
Local traders have always claimed that Nigerian traders have resumed their retail activities, as stipulated in the Ghana Investment Promotion Council (GIPC) GIPC (Law 85). The law prohibits foreigners from engaging in retail business.
Confirming the opening of stores starting tomorrow, Chukwuemeka President Levi Nnaji, chairman of the Ghana Union of Traders of Ghana (NUTAG), revealed that he had had fruitful discussions with Ghanaian police and GUTA officials.
"You only take control of something if that person has it. My Ghanaian brothers have more advantages than Nigerian traders in Ghanaian language, supporting their banks and their relatives. I think the space is big enough for all of us. I understand that whenever there is competition, it is good for business, "said Chief Chukwuemeka.
He called on Ghana's leaders to accelerate the harmonization of local laws with those of the ECOWAS protocols on trade, the free movement of people and services.
