Ghana’s new visa plan and pan-Africanism
By Paul Ejime
Ghana President John Dramani Mahama in a State of the Nation
address to mark Ghana’s 59th independence anniversary on March 6, 2016 made two
important pronouncements with foreign relations implications. The first was his
government’s plan to improve the knowledge and usage of French language in
Anglophone Ghana, which is surrounded by French speaking nations. The
advantages of this strategic initiative if effectively implemented are many.
