Mahama: No Room for Xenophobia in Ghana
Accra, August 1, 2025 – Ghanaian President John Mahama has reassured the Nigerian government that xenophobia has no place in Ghana, following recent protests targeting Nigerian nationals.
During a meeting with Nigeria’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Mahama emphasized Ghana’s commitment to ECOWAS protocols and the free movement of people and goods in West Africa. He urged Nigerian President Bola Tinubu not to worry about the unrest, attributing it to an old, recirculated video that sparked temporary tension.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on a fact-finding mission, said the visit aimed to ease tensions and proposed the creation of a permanent Nigeria-Ghana Joint Commission to address migration and youth unemployment. She also urged Nigerians in Ghana to abide by local laws.
She described the meeting with Mahama as “engaging” and praised the president’s dedication to peaceful coexistence.
