The federal government has denied media reports that the Nigeria’s
High Commission in Ghana has been evicted, adding that there is no diplomatic
row between Nigeria and the West African country.
This comes after a property located atNo.10 Barnes Road, Accrawas recently
reallocated to Amaco Micro-finance by Ghana’s Ministry of Lands and Natural
Resources with the consent of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional
Integration following the expiration of the lease agreement on the said property.
According to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the
building in question is not the one housing the Mission or chancery but that
the mission only has some of its properties within the premises.
The statement: “The Ministry wishes to clarify that the said
property under reference was in use by the Federal Ministry of Finance, since
1957, on leasehold and was later bequeathed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“There is therefore no imminent diplomatic row with Ghana as being
speculated by a section of the media. We wish to assure all and sundry that the
Ministry is on top of the situation.” (Agency report)
