President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is advocating for the 24-hour opening of the borders between Ghana and Togo, explaining that this will boost trade and tourism, and, thereby, ensure that the peoples of the two nations reap the economic benefits thereof.
According to Akufo-Addo, “the opening of our borders will give true meaning to the ECOWAS Protocols on Free Movement of Goods and Persons, and will spur on progress and prosperity for our peoples.” He made this known on Wednesday, May 3, 2017, when he delivered a brief speech at a State dinner held in his honour by the President of the Republic of Togo, Faure Gnassingbé.
