We’re seriously considering visa waivers for African nations – Foreign Affairs Minister

Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, has revealed that the government is contemplating the possibility of implementing visa waivers for African nations.

This move follows the recent decisions made by Rwanda, Kenya, and South Africa to open their doors to African travelers without the need for visas.

In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM on Wednesday, November 8, the Minister expressed Ghana's intention to follow the example of other African nations.
