He said President Akufo-Addo was creating an opportunity for the people of Ghana, both at home and abroad, and challenged the diaspora community to seize these opportunities.
He said: "Having launched programs including social protection programs that aim to improve the quality of life of the majority of our population, the government will continue to boost agriculture, industry and services so that they continue to experience strong growth of our people and bring a value of income to our people. "
He revealed that President Akufo-Addo had created the Diaspora Affairs Office in the president's office with the express purpose of removing bottlenecks and allowing the community to easily connect to the homeland. Development policy aimed at attracting and encouraging Ghanaians to showcase their technical skills, money and investment opportunities at home to stimulate growth and development.
