The initiative, unveiled during Africa Day celebrations, aims to streamline cross-border movement and support economic integration across the continent. By reducing administrative barriers, the government hopes to attract more investors and entrepreneurs, reinforcing Ghana’s role as a key commercial gateway in West Africa.
Meanwhile, health officials from the World Health Organization have issued a warning to neighboring countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo about the ongoing Ebola outbreak. In Senegal, President Faye has named economist Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo as the country’s new prime minister, marking a significant shift in leadership.
